Literature review examining the biological, epidemiological, and pathogenic properties of a neglected tropical disease: Rabies.
Master Essay, University of Pittsburgh.
Abstract
Neglected tropical diseases (NTD) such as rabies represent a balance between properly investing in public health infrastructure, health education, and clinical research. Known problems of rabies include the high case fatality rate, endemic spread, and vaccination/treatment cost. Current research on these topics is often fragmented between journals and divided between endemic vs. non-endemic countries. Creating a centralized review of the most up to date literature is critical for enhancing public health professionals’/clinicians’ intellectual arsenal against this disease. Acquisition of the appropriate literature was accomplished by carefully screening through research articles. One of the common themes throughout all articles analyzed is the debate on whether to invest more in rabies deterrence. This review aims to showcase the need for scientific community to take rabies more seriously, as it is one of the few infectious diseases today that continues to evade eradication methods in conjunction with an extraordinary death rate.
