Four samples are reecommendeed for antem mortem testiing of rabiees in humanss (saliva, seerum, nuchaal skin biopsy and cerebrospinnal fluid) inn which antiibodies, viraal antigens and a nucleic mmunofluoreescence andd acidss are detecteed using neuutralization, indirect annd direct im reverrse transcripption PCR methods. m Thhe turnarounnd time to provide p conclusive resuults on alll four sampples analyzeed by all tecchniques is approximate a ely 24 to 488 hrs. Real time t PCR R appears to be one prom mising techhnique to exppedite resullts on nucleic acid deteection and aaccurately quantitate q viiral loads inn patient sam mples. How wever, there is no univerrsal prim mer or probe that may deetect the bro oad lyssavirrus diversity y described to date, whhich decreeases the seensitivity off the test draamatically. The oobjective off this study was the dessign of a sennsitive and specific reaal-time PCR R assayy to detect and a quantitaate a broad variety v of raabies virusees in antemoortem and postm mortem sam mples from human/anim h mal tissues aand bodily fluids. f Meth hods. Moree than 2500 complete nu ucleoproteinn sequencess of RABV representattive of a gglobal specttrum of variiants from the t GenBannk and CDC C databases were w analyzzed to deesign 12 setss of broadlyy reactive prrimers and probes. p Twoo primer setts and probees from m the literatu ure were conncomitantly y consideredd.

The priior primer sets s and probbes from thhe literature had limitedd sensitivityy circuumscribed too RABV cirrculating in respective regions of Asia A and Affrica. None of the pprimer sets and a probes we w designedd was able to t detect alll viruses tessted alone. How wever, a min nimal set of five primerrs and probees used conccomitantly in i separate reacttions were able a to detecct all RABV V included in i this studyy. The systeem was senssitive enouugh to detectt up to 5 coppies of ampplicon. Concclusions. Real time PC CR is a highly sensitivee and specifiic techniquee yet there is i no singlle set of brooadly reactivve primers and a probes capable c of detecting d all the existinng lyssaavirus diversity. We described fivee broadly reeactive prim mer sets that were used concomitantly inn a 96 well platform too detect all RABV R repoorted globallly. This form mat mans and for high throuughput screeening is suiitable for raabies antemoortem diagnnosis in hum of fieeld samples.

Thesse results suuggest a new w virus, nam med Lleida bat lyssavirrus (LLEBV V), taking inn considerattion the locaality wherre the bat was found. Inn Europe, frrom 1977 too 2011, a tottal of 988 cases of bat rabiees were repoorted; Eptessicus serotinnus and E. issabellinus which w accouunt for moree than 95% of the cases are considered c thhe major naatural reserv voirs of EBL LV-1. Seveeral Myottis spp. are reservoirs r f EBLV-22, BBLV, ARAV, and KHUV(4). for K In I Spain, EBLV-1 has onlly been desccribed in E. isabellinuss (5). Interestingly, the lowest b LLEBV was with EB BLV-1. Thee LLEBV has h been dettected nucleeotide identtity shown by on M M. schreibers rsii such as WCBV. W M Miniopterus g genus preseently belonggs to the Vesppertilionidaee family as the t other baat genera linnked to lyssaviruses in Eurasia (Epteesicus, Myootis and Murrina). Howeever, recent molecular analyses haave postulated the ggroup as an independennt monospeccific Minioppteridae fam mily (6). M. schreibersiii is a migrratory bat, widely w distriibuted throu ughout Soutthern Europpe and Eurassia. This batt speciie gathers inn caves in laarge numbeers (thousannds) for winttering, mov ving in sprinng to different and som metimes disstant summeer roosts forr reproductiion. Due to its migratorry habitts and typically large siize of popullations of thhis bat, it is quite probaable that oncce an infecctious agentt is introduced, it may spread s quickkly within populations. p . The evoluutionary relationships between b thee new LLEB BV with WC CBV and IK KOV need to t be clariffied to deterrmine whethher they will form one or more ph hylogroups. Further analyyses are in process p to assess a this quuestion andd to establishh a probablee potential role r as a hhuman path hogen.

Usiing PubM Med and thee MMWR we w identified d 120 case rreports of raabies from the t USA, Canaada, Europee, and Asia. We system matically absstracted seleected clinicaal features, resullts of investigations, inccubation tim mes and durrations of illlness. Detaiils about clinical featuures were reecorded. Casses were claassified as ddog- or bat-aacquired baased on repoorted anim mal exposuree or viral vaariant typingg by molecuular or monooclonal antiibody charaacterizationn. Categoricaal variabless were summ marized as frequency f (% %), and contiinuous variaables were summarized s d as mediann (interquarttile range [IQ QR]). We comppared bat- and a dog-acqquired cases using chi-ssquare or Fiisher’s exacct tests for categgorical variaables, and Mann M Whitn ney U tests for f continuo ous variablees. Of 120 ccases, 38 (332%) were dog-acquire d ed and 54 (445%) were bat-acquired b d. Survivorss and cases acquuired from aerosolized viral v exposu ure or tissuee/organ trannsplantation were excluuded. The median m incuubation timees for dog- and bat-acqquired rabiees were 63 (IQR 42.75, 108) and 552.5 (IQR 27.25, 2 92.5) days, respeectively (p= =0.074). Thee median du urations of illnesss for dog- and a bat-acqquired rabiess were 17 (IIQR 11.75, 23) and 14 (9.25,18.5)) days, respectiveely (p=0.2011). There waas no differeence in patiients with bat- and dogp m malaise, enccephalopathhy, acquuired rabies in terms of the presencce of fever, prodromal sore throat, cran nial nerve abbnormalitiess, hemipareesis or seizu ures. Clinicaal manifestaations w more common c in bat- than dog-acquiredd rabies inclluded a locaal prodromee of that were sensoory or motoor symptomss (p=0.026)), hemisensoory abnormaalities (p=0.042), tremoor (p=0.003), and myoclonus m (p=0.009). Neither N trem mor nor myyoclonus waas observed in og-acquired rabies. Aerophobia andd facial or pharygneal p patieents with do spasms werre moree common in n dog- thann bat-acquireed rabies (pp=0.007 andd p=0.029, respectively r y). Hydrrophobia waas more com mmon in doog-acquired rabies (p=0 0.054). Therre was no difference betweeen dog- annd bat-acquiired rabies in i terms of results r of diiagnostic a inn invesstigations suuch as skin biopsy, saliivary analyssis or the deetection of antibodies serum m and cerebbrospinal fluuid (CSF). The T CSF protein was higher h for baat rabies (799; IQR 52, 109 mg g/dL) than dog d rabies (331; IQR 26,, 48, mg/dL L,; p=0.012). In summarry, m local symptoms, s bat-aacquired rabbies is assocciated with more tremor, andd myoclonuss, wherreas dog-acq quired rabiees has more hydrophobbia, aerophoobia, and pharyngeal orr faciaal spasms. We W speculatee that these clinical diffferences maay reflect diifferences inn the routee of viral en ntry of the raabies virus variants v intoo the nervouus system because b fundaamental diffferences in the neuropaathology orr viral distribbution havee not been identtified. Bat raabies virus variants maay also havee greater efffects on the blood-CSF F barrier by affectting endotheelial cell perrmeability tthrough unkknown mechhanisms.

It is clear c that innnate immunne invassiveness and cells detect pathhogens, mosst likely inclluding rabiees virus, viaa pattern reccognition m recepptions, suchh as Toll-likke receptors and others. Pathogen-aassociated molecular patteerns activatee receptors which w inducce productioon of pro-innflammatoryy cytokines and signaals to activaate inflammaation. In adddition, these receptors are requiredd for an adaaptive immuune responsse. Innate annd adaptivee immune reesponses actt as two inteerlocking defennse lines.

Since RA ABV G-pro otein is critical for innduction off virus neutrralizing antibbody, profoound expresssion and buudding of viirions on ceellular surfaace in fixed virus infectted cells miight be a maajor target of o the host immuune system.

Nevvertheless, in i the coursse of infectioon, the IFN induction in i the wholee RAB BV-infected nervous syystem, NS, is far from being b abrogated.

Subsstitutions in position 3336, particulaarly the N3336D, were detected d earlier in escappe viruss studies and d precludedd neutralizattion of suchh viruses by MAb CR40098. Neveertheless, noo isolates haad substitutiions in bindding sites foor MAbs CR R57 and CR R4098 simuultaneously. There is noo reason to expect e that any of the viruses v from m our study woulld escape neeutralizationn by a combbination of these t MAbss in vivo.

México, DF Curreently in the border states of northeern Mexico,, samples frrom skunks and dogs thhat have the V-1 anntigenic variiant of the raabies virus have been identified, i h however, geenetic I 2010, 4 cases c of hum man rabies were w analyysis indicatees that they are strains of skunks. In regisstered in Meexico, whilee in Nuevo Leon L there w was 1 case of canine raabies transm mitted by innsectivorouss bats. It hass been almo ost a decadee since the apparent a non n-transmission of the (V-1) variiant dog/coyyote, in thee border bettween Mexico (Coahuilla and Tamaaulipas) andd USA (Texxas). Surveiillance data suggest thaat this variannt of caninee rabiees virus is no ot longer inn circulationn in the Unitted States of America, however, thhe last ddetection waas registeredd in March 2004 in thee US-Mexicco border. In n addition, one o dog ccarrying thee rabies viruus was deteccted in Junee 2011 in the town of Sabinas S Hidaalgo, NL., which is ab bout 130 km m from the US-Mexico U border. This finding iss very impoortant becauuse the (V-1) variant (ddog/coyote)) could be ppresent on thhe border off both counttries. The ggeography of o this regioon is very siimilar to Teexas, which may permitt the free moveement of caarnivorous species s on both b sides off the borderr. Thereforee, the objective of this study waas to identifyy the (V-1) variant of rabies virus in the dog from f Sabinaas Hidaalgo, NL. Byy using direect immunoofluorescencce, antigenic characteriization withh a panel of 8 monooclonal antibbodies, RT--PCR and nuucleotide seequencing techniques, the t 709ppb (751nt to 1460nt) annd 420pb (992nt to 1411nt) fragmeents from thhe semi-variiable regioon of the virral N proteinn were anallyzed. Accoording to thee antigenic characteriza c ation, the vvariant found was the V-1, V while thhe moleculaar study wass also positiive for this variaant. Our resu ults suggestt the same liineages pubblished by Velasco-Vill V la et al., 20005 in the aanalyzed sam mple. This study s demon nstrates the actual prev valence of th he V-1 variaant (dog//coyote) in the US-Mexxico borderr and warns about the risk for transsmission off the V-1 variant v to humans, h as well w as to doomestic andd wild animaals.

Objjetivos. Determinar las asociacione a s entre espeecies de murrciélagos, su comportaamiento, la e gico con énfasis en riessgo transsmisión del virus entre ellos y su significado epidemiológ para la población humana y mascotas. Metodologgía. Durantee el periodo o diciembre 1999 or el prograama de vigillancia a junnio 2012, fueron capturrados más de 1.321 murrciélagos po de raabia en el deepartamentoo del Valle del d Cauca. El E diagnóstiico de rabiaa se hizo porr inmuunofluoresceencia directta e inoculacción en ratoones, utilizaando tejido encefálico e d los de murcciélagos cappturados.

Thiss review seeeks to remin nd those workking on Latiin Americann rabies conntrol program ms of the poossibility off a bat-cathumaan pathway. Followingg the increasse in the conntrol of canine rabies inn most Latinn Ameerican counttries, epidem miological surveillance s e also focuseed on hemaatophagous and a non-hhematophaggous bats annd the use of o molecularr techniquess in the charracterizationn of rabiees. At least eight e cases of secondarry transmisssion to hum mans were id dentified in Latin L Ameerica from 2001 to 20122: one in Brrazil (2001), two in Costa Rica (20001), four inn Coloombia (two in i 2008 andd two in 201 12) and one in Ecuadorr (2009). In each case, the t epideemiologicall investigatiion implicatted a cat as the t vector. The T antigennic and geneetic analyyses identifiied variantss maintainedd by the hem matophagouus bat Desm modus rotunddus. Fruitt-eating batss in the genuus Artibeus may also be b affected by b a variantt similar to that t of D.. rotundus. Such fruit bats b may bee found in urrban areas. Such affectted species can c transsmit rabies virus v to felidds, which arre importannt predators of bats. Therefore, in cases c of huuman rabiess following aggression by cats in areas a that are otherwisee free of cannine rabiees (variants 1 and 2) buut where theere are rabiees epizooticss in sentinells such as herbiivores, the hypothesis h o secondarry transmisssion of bat rabies of r virusees should allways be innvestigated. CO.332 ndards and Assays forr Rabies Serology Stan Moore S1, Hanlo on C1 - 1Kaansas State University U - KSVDL/R Rabies Laborratory oassays are currently ussed to meassure humoraal immunity y to the rabiees Seveeral immuno viruss. A standarrd or referennce serum iss a consistennt componeent of all asssays to standdardize the results r and control the assay perfoormance. Tw wo human innternationall standdard rabies immune i gloobulin (SRIG) referencce serum preeparations are a recognizzed by thhe World Heealth Organnization (WH HO): the firrst internatioonal WHO SRIG(WHO O 1) with a potency of o 59 IU andd the secondd WHO SR RIG(WHO 2) 2 with a pottency of 30 IU. RIG is also known k as RIG R Lot R-33 in the Unitted States, distributed d b by The WHO 1 SR ogics Evaluaation and Research R (CB BER). The WHO W 2 SR RIG is distribbuted Centter for Biolo by N National Insttitute for Biological Staandards andd Control (N NIBSC) in thhe UK. Theese standdards are used globallyy to promotee uniform pootency meaasurement off RIG produucts used for prophylaxis, indiviidual vaccinne responsee, and diseasse diagnosiss in a standaard onsistent an nd accurate internnational uniit (IU/mL). Because it is importannt to have co assiggnment of IU U/mL valuees for rabiess immune gllobulin (RIG G) productss and reliablle vacciine response measurem ments for thee evaluationn of vaccinees, the SRIG G in use for a particcular metho od should bee routinely evaluated for fo potency against a a recognized internnational staandard. Prevvious studiees in 1997 and a 2006 haave indicated that WHO O1 SRIG G has lost po otency in coomparison with w WHO 2 SRIG. Fuurther potenncy comparison studiies have sup pported this finding. Too determine the differennce in potenncy betweenn the two S SRIG prepaarations andd their potenncies in diffe ferent assayss, a comparison study was w perfoormed at KS SU. Three potency p leveels of each SRIG S and four fo rabies virus v neutrallizing antibbody (RVNA A) positive serum sampples were teested in two o rapid fluorrescent focuus inhibbition assays (RFFIT), differing inn challenge virus v strain and cell typpe, and two ELIS SA assays, one o indirectt and one blocking. Staatistical anallysis revealeed there is no n signiificant difference overaall in the meeasurementss when eitheer WHO 1 or o WHO 2 are a used as the SRIG G in the RF FFIT assays.. However, a trend wass clearly seeen in higherr mL values obbtained wheen WHO1 was w used as the SRIG to t obtain thee IU/mL vallues. IU/m Addiitionally, fo or some of thhe samples a significannt differencee in IU/mL was found. The compparison of inndirect ELIISA results, where the kkit standardd is used to calculate c the EU/m mL values, revealed r a significant difference between b WH HO 1 and WHO W 2 meassurements at a potency leevel 2.0 IU//mL; with WHO W 1 highher in EU/m mL value thaan WHO O 2. The pootential for obtaining o inncongruent m measuremen nts with usee of differennt SRIG G preparatio on and the performance p e of each SR RIG in diffeerent method ds should bbe consiidered when n selecting assays standdards/controols and in th he interpretaation of rabbies serollogy results.

Neveertheless, fundaamental stuudies have been b accumuulated to coorrelate the structural s prresentation of the main m rabies antigen, thee glycoproteein G, and itts immunoggenicity. Thhe G proteinn contaains two maain antigenic sites: site II requires a folding off the G ectoodomain to bring b in proximity pep ptides distannt in the primary sequeence of the protein; p sitee III which is i d allong the ecttodomain buut also requuires a folded conformaation of the less dispersed ectoddomain. Botth sites are recognized by specificc monoclonaal antibodiees (mAbs) thhat are inn general neeutralizing viral v infectiion. Amongg them mAbb D1 (IgG I isotype), direccted against site III is sppecific of thhe trimeric state s of the glycoproteiin (it recognnizes the nnative but noot mercaptoo-ethanol annd/or SDS-trreated G) which w is pressumed to bee the mostt immunogeenic form off the antigenn. mAb D1 has been exxtensively used u to evaluuate the sttability of G trimers (Jallet et al., 1999, J.

C.. thous is cuurrently the only wild land speciies in whichh RABV is continually isolated, with w an averaage of 20 caases/year. Althoough previo ous studies and a phylogeenetic analyyses of the N and G gen nes and interggenic G-L region r all coonfirmed th he existence of these tw wo genetic liineages, thee way in whhich the lineeages had dispersed d tem mporally annd spatially remained too be elucidaated.

The T coaleescent exponential grow resullts can be su ummarized as follows. The commoon ancestorr of the RAB BV in the sampples analyzeed became established e around a 1900 in the borrder region between b thee states of Paraíbaa and Pernam mbuco and diversified into the lin neages typically found iin C. familliaris and C. C thous. Aroound 1910 the t original C. thous linneage diverrsified into ttwo mainn sublineagees in the sam me area, onee of which migrated m to the south and a the otherr to the nnorth. Then, around 19330 the southhern sublineeage diversiified even fuurther and moveed in two diirections: tooward the sttate of Bahia and towarrd the state of Pernambbuco. In appproximately 1945 the northern su ublineage off C. thous allso diversifiied, resultinng in a subblineage thaat remained in the state of Pernambbuco and an nother that diversified d e even furthher and movved toward the t state of Piauí. The lineage l typiically found d in C. familliaris diverrsified aroun nd 1945 andd moved tow ward the noorth and souuth. Howeveer, around 1970 1 it undderwent a major m diverssification when one of the t 1945 su ublineages divided d into two subliineages, onee of which migrated m to the states oof Pernambu uco, Sergipee and Alagooas and tthe other to the states of o Pará and Piauí.

Paraa reduzir aoo máximo a expoosição de heerbívoros à espoliação e p morcegoos hematófaagos da espécie Desmoodus por rotunndus e conseqüentemennte, ao risco o de infecçãão por Lyssaavirus, foram m identificaados abriggos com collônias de moorcegos hem matófagos, e estes monnitorados sem mestralmennte, com capturas e controle c poppulacional eventuais, e e três micrrobacias do Estado do Rio em R de Jaaneiro. Verificou-se que na microbbacia de Mirracema, os casos de Raaiva transmiitidos por D D. rotundus foram se reeduzindo a partir p de 19995, quandoo foi iniciadoo o moniitoramento dos abrigoss e controle populacionnal da espéciie. No interrvalo de 36 mesees (anos de 2005 2 a 20077) em que não n houve controle c poppulacional, os o casos de Raivva em herbívvoros tornarram a se eleevar. Verificcou-se que o repovoam mento dos abbrigos moniitorados lev vava de 2 a 5 anos. Na microbacia m envolvendoo o municíp pio de Aperiibé, o moniitoramento dos abrigoss e eventual controle poopulacional por 30 messes coincidiuu com a ausência de Raiva em m herbívoroos ao longo de 5 anos (d de 1996 a 2000). 2 Tambbém c de Raaiva em herbbívoros durrante o não fforam notifiicados/diagnnosticados casos moniitoramento dos abrigoss e eventual controle poopulacional,, realizado por p 30 mesees nos municípios m de Três Rioos e Sapucaiia. Conclui--se que o coontrole popuulacional dee D. rotunndus por téccnicos experrientes reduuziu substanncialmente o contato diireto dos morccegos com animais a dom mésticos sussceptíveis nas n microbaccias trabalhadas, e conseeqüentemen nte o risco de d infecção quando da presença dee Lyssaviruss na saliva dos d morccegos. Enquuanto era reaalizado o coontrole popuulacional biianual de D.. rotundus nos n três aambientes distintos d e issolados, nãoo foram diaggnosticadoss casos de Raiva R em herbíívoros doméésticos ao loongo dos peeríodos de monitorame m ento. Em não o se realizanndo o conntrole popullacional durrante um míínimo de 488 meses, cassos de Raivaa em herbívvoros passaaram a acon ntecer nessees ambientess sob estudoo. Em nenhuum dos D rootundus exam minados foi encontrado Lyssaviruss na saliva pela p IFD, neem anticorp pos específicos contrra a virose no n soro de 163 1 indivíduuos examinaados.

Em árrea rural do município de d Campinaas estado dee São Pauloo, foram reggistrados 299 casos de raaiva confirm mados laborratorialmentte em herbíívoros, em 2001 2 e 20022. Técnicos da Secretarria de Saúdee e da Agriccultura realizzaram um trrabalho inteenso e conjuunto na prevvenção da raaiva animall e humana na n regiãão. O objetiv vo deste esttudo é descrrever o perffil epidemioológico da ep pizootia e analiisar variáveiis associadaas aos óbitos na área dee ocorrênciaa. Foi realizzado estudo transsversal com a aplicaçãoo de questio onário a 7300 proprietáriios e morado ores de imóóveis da árrea, sendo que q 5 propriedades não foram incluusas.

Foram calcuulados coefiicientes de mortalidade m e por raiva por p espécie animal por 1000 indivvíduos. Foi ajustado a moodelo de reg gressão logíística múltippla, tendo como variávvel respoosta a ocorrência de óbbitos por raivva, e variávveis preditorras as acimaa referidas, utilizzando-se os programas EPI-INFO 6.04 e, R para digitaçãão e análisess estatísticaas. O coefiiciente de mortalidade m (CM) total foi de 2,3/11000 animaiis (n = 82300), em equíddeos foi 17,9/1000 e em bovinoss 1,97/1000. Em 81(11,,1%) das prropriedades foi referidaa a existtência de abrigos de moorcegos, senndo 27 (46,66%) do tipoo árvore, 25 (43,1%) consttrução habittada e 6 (100,34%) consstrução abanndonada. Fooram contab bilizadas 12278 pessooas que lidaavam com os o animais, sendo s que 38 3 exerciam m atividades nas proprriedades com óbitos, portanto exp postos diretaamente ao riisco de raiva humana. As A variááveis estatisticamente significantes s s associadass aos óbitos obtidas no modelo forram: existtência de abrigos de moorcegos hem matófagos nna propriedaade (OR = 3,2 IC 95% 1,03 – 9,991) e a ocorrrência de óbbitos em aniimais nos últimos ú 6 meeses (OR = 32,64 IC 955%= 9,11 – 116,90). A análise de d CM por espécie e anim mal pode traazer informaações relevaantes C em equíddeos 9 vezees maior quee o de bovin nos na área,, na reegião. Obserrvou-se o CM diferrente de daddos da literatura. O estuudo desta eppizootia mosstra o poten ncial de ocorrrência em humanos h vivvendo e trab balhando naas proximidaades dos casos em anim mais. A referrência de moortes de aniimais em peeríodo recen nte (6 mesess) foi predittora de raaiva, sugerinndo a circullação préviaa do vírus e a falta de conscientização dos proprrietários em m manterem os animais vacinados. A associaçção entre a raiva r animall e preseença de morrcegos tem sido relatadda em outros estudos, reeforçando a necessidadde de moniitoramento de colôniass de morcegos em área rural. As açções de vigiilância epideemiológica,, educação em e saúde e profilaxia animal a e hum mana pressuupõem açõees intersetoriais de relevância para a prevvenção e conntrole da raiiva humanaa e animal.

Using connventional teechniques for f rabies diagnosis, 11 dogs, 8 cats and d 554 bats were w found to be positivve for this disease. d Wheen moleculaar nd genetic ssequencing, were used, antigenic technniques, suchh as antigennic typing an variaant 3, which h is associated with Dessmodus rotuundus, was detected in 11 dogs annd 7 cats; this variantt has also beeen identified in bat sppecies from the genus Artibeus A sppp., w is whicch has synannthropic habbits. Only one cat was ppositive forr variant 4, which assocciated with Tadarida brasiliensis. b It should bee noted thatt the signs and a symptom ms of cats aand dogs innfected by raabies variannts associateed with batss were quitee different frrom thosee in dogs inffected with variants associated with dogs (varriants 1 andd 2). In geneeral, sympptoms were atypical, thhe most com mmon cliniccal picture being b that off paralysis and a hemoorrhagic gasstroenteritiss, and cases were nearlyy always isoolated.

Conssidering the importancee of the diseease, the objjective of th his study waas to test statisstically the correlation c between itss occurrencee in bats andd seasonalitty (rain preciipitation) inn the northw west of São Paulo, P Brazzil. To teest this hypoothesis we used u the reccords of resuults diagnosstic for samp ples of batss that weree sent for ex xamination to t the Rabiees Laboratorry at UNES SP (Araçatub ba Campus)), by healtth or agricullture teams services off the municippalities in thhe northwesstern regionn of São P Paulo, Brazzil.

T Therefore, the t positivitty of rabies increases during d the drry season. The T weak buut signiificant negaative correlaation betweeen rainfall aand the occu urrence of raabies suggeests that this t is one of o the factorrs that affect the tempooral distributtion of this zoonosis inn bats in thee northwesttern region of o São Paullo, Brazil. It is aargued heree, by hypothhesis, that duuring the drry seas on thhe dislocatioon of bat poopulations frrom their shhelters occu urs due to thhe water scarrcity and rresources, and a also duee to the form mation of neew colonies by young bats b that leaave their original shelters.

We W have woorked with cell c densitiees between 5 and 8 x 1006 cells//ml generatting, at leastt, four harveests with titlles of 106 LD L 50/ml or higher. h Threee consiistent vaccine batches have h been produced p with a potenccy of 1 IU/ddose or highher. For new n nationaal vaccines, we have deeveloped a rrecombinan nt canarypoxx virus in collaaboration wiith the INTA A. This viruus has the gllycoprotein n rabies genee among its DNA A, extracted of CVS-Malbrán rabiees strain, deeveloped in our laboratoory. The virrus is grow wn over prim mary culturee of chickenn embryo fibbroblasts. Inn non avian hosts, thesee virusses produce a suicidal infection: i thhey can’t coomplete its infection i cyycle, but therre’s expreession of viiral proteinss that are proocessed by host cells, generating g a humoral and a celluular immunee response. This T potential vaccine has shown impressive antigenic valuees, higher thhan 3.5 IU/m ml and the measuremen m nt of neutraalizing antibbodies doesnn’t decreease significcantly after a year. An advantage of o these viru uses is the resistance r too liofillization proccess using lactose l 10 mg/ml m withoout losing itts immunogenicity. In this t way,, we have reealized potency assays that show similar s valuees in compaarison with not nother liofillizated virusses. By thesse days, we are workingg hard in deeveloping an recom mbinant can narypox viruus containinng only the rabies nucleoprotein gene. g The finnal objecctive would d be a canaryypox antirabbies vaccinee containing g both the raabies nucleeoprotein annd glycoprootein genes.

The selected viruss were isolatted from soome of the main m reservooirs in Brazil being relaated to a batt (Myootis spp.), to o a fox (Cerrdocyon thous), to a dog (Canis fam miliaris), too a bovine (relatted to Desm modus rotunndus) and too a monkey (Challithrixx jacchus). The T mice were w 40, fe female, speccific pathogen free (SPF F), swiss albbino mice, 45 4 days oldd that were dividded into 5 grroups of 6 animals. a Thhe intracerebbral mouse inoculation i med was perform with 0,03mL of the inoculuums (standarrd dilution) for clinicall observatioon and sampple ough all virrus resulted in an infecttion with 1000% of lethaality, it is colleection. Altho remaarkably notaated that thee time of evolution of some s samplees is much longer l than otherrs variants. When the animals a get sick after beeing inoculaated with saamples originated from fox and moonkey it takes more tim me to death to t occur whhen compariing to d samples. The T monkeyy and fox saamples had similar evoolution periood, the oother studied for m monkey sam mple the sym mptoms initiiated after 10 1 days and the evolutioon to death of all innoculated annimals weree of 4 days, in the fox sample s the symptoms s innitiated afteer 9 days and the evoolution in thhis case wass of 8 days. Otherwise the sampless isolated frrom d bovine inittiated symptoms after 8 days and had h an evolu ution periodd of the bbat, dog and threee days. The presence off the RABV V was investtigated by FAT. F The viirus was identtified by thiis techniquee in all sampples. Some differences d could be ob bserved. Thhe patteern of positiv vity in some infected tiissues is sm moother wheen comparinng samples relateed to dog, fox, f and vam mpire bats. The T virus issolated from m Challithrixx jacchus annd Myottis spp. pressented a discrete fluoreescence and some pointts of fluoresscence in the tissuee, while thee samples isolated from m the bovinee, a variant probably p related to Desm modus rotun ndus (V3), the t corpusclles were bigg and with strong s fluoreescence, succh as thosee observed in i canine reelated samplles. In orderr to quantifyy the viral replication inn the brainn of the infeected animalls the Real Time T was pperformed, the t cDNA was w made ussing oligoo dt and Supper Script III (Invitrogenn), and the reaction r waas performedd using GoT Taq qPCR R Mster Miix (Promegaa). The dog,, fox and boovine samplle presentedd a higher raate of repliccation, whicch could bee observed by b the detecction of viral antigen inn brain of infeccted animalss. The time to death waas not relateed to the viral replicatioon once the virus isolaated from Ceerdocyon thhous presentted replicatiion similar to t the dog and a Desmoddus rotunndus and waas the sampple with the longest incuubation andd evolution time. t On the otherr hand viruss isolated froom monkey y had the low west replicaation compaaring to the other isolaated virus foollowed by the t virus isoolated from the bat (Myyotis spp.). This T resultss demoonstrated th hat virus isollated from different d species have unique u charracteristics that t can rreflect on th he viral repliication but not n necessaary on the evvolution perriod and lethaality of the infection.

SULTADOS S Y CONC CLUSION RES De laas 50 muesttras de encééfalo se obtu uvieron los siguientes resultados; r 2 muestrass 25 posittivas de difeerentes graddos de positiividad (1+ a 4+) y 25 muestras m negativas y dee los 20 aiislamientos del virus dee la rabia enn célula de m mieloblastooma de ratón n (15 muesttras posittivas de difeerentes graddos de positiividad (1+ a 4+) y 5 muuestras negativas; todaas las muesstras coincid dieron con los resultaddos anteriorrmente reportados. Toddo el personnal invollucrado en la l lectura cooincidió en la facilidadd de identificcar los núcleos celularees, tantoo en impronttas de encéffalo así com mo en las lam minillas de cultivo celuular. Debidoo a que eel yoduro dee propidio se s intercala en el DNA,, se observaaron los núccleos de las célullas de color rojo-naranjja; así mism mo se facilitto la identifficación de la l infecciónn en el cittoplasma ceelular (en los casos posiitivos) por eel contraste de color veerde manzanna fluorrescente deb bido al fluorrocromo isootiocianato de d fluoresceeína (FITC)) que esta marccando a los anticuerpos a s monoclonaales dirigidoos a la proteeína del viru us de la rabiia. Por lo l anterior se s concluye que el uso del yoduro de propidioo no interfieere en la técnnica de IF FD ya que se obtienen resultados r idénticos a llos que se reeportaron en n las muestrras probaadas; el usoo del yoduroo de propidiio es de ayuuda principaalmente paraa personal técniico que no tiene t la expeeriencia en identificar llas células en e improntaas y en cultivvos celullares; el usoo del yoduroo de propidio permite un u contraste que facilitaa la identtificación dee la fluoresccencia propia del virus de la rabia..
