Product Description
Britain has maintained a largely rabies-free status for most of the 20th century by retaining distinctive quarantine regulations. This work examines the possibility of equally efficient methods of keeping Britain free from the disease. Informing the continuing debate about rabies, this guide reviews the patterns of rabies around the world and the advantages and disadvantages of currently available methods of control and treatment. It predicts the spread of rabies in the event of an outbreak in Britain, and examines the costs of various rabies policies. This guide is published as part of the BMA's programme to raise public and professional awareness of science. It is designed for policy shapers, enforcers of customs controls, doctors and veterinary surgeons. ... Read more

Product Description
Provides a comprehensive guide to laboratory techniques for research and diagnosis in rabies, and the production of vaccine and immunoglobulin. Now in its fourth edition, this standard reference work has been substantially revised and expanded following more than two decades of widespread use of the previous edition. The book has six parts. The first provides a general overview of current techniques, including safety precautions, and summarizes the characteristics and molecular biology of the rabies virus. The second and third parts evaluate diagnostic and research techniques, including those involving the use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), cell cultures, monoclonal antibodies and the polymerase chain reaction.

The production of rabies vaccines for human and veterinary use is considered in the fourth part, which includes 23 new chapters dealing with vaccines prepared in cell cultures (including continuous cell lines) and recombinant vaccines. Techniques for evaluating the safety and potency of rabies vaccines are then described, including in vitro tests for in-process control. The final part covers the production of human and equine antirabies serum and immunoglobulin. Further practical advice is given in the appendices, which describe techniques for the collection and shipment of brain specimens for rabies diagnosis, preparation of rabies conjugates, and calculation of virus titres and antirabies serum, immunoglobulin and vaccine potency.

And when the master smiled upon him and called him Ned, and let him call him uncle, and be affectionate, they all smiled joyously; no boy was so absurdly mean and nasty as to dream of being jealous of him, and there was glorious sunshine throughout the whole school; and when all their efforts were vain, and he was called up from his form and made to stand out till the master was '' at leisure to attend to him/' all the boys were very sorry for him; but the young Ferguses, and the two Bethunes,. and Erry Sal- keld, his cousins, sorrier than all the rest, put their arms round his waist, and held him back,and clung to the poor dear hands that were about to suffer, as he slowly rose to go, and sighed forth a murmur of compassionate remonstrance as he passed up to the platform, and fidgeted uneasily and whispered to one another as he stood meekly waiting, and turned their heads round and stole looks of indignant pity at kirn during his punishment. And when he came back sobbing, they all nestled close round him, d... ... Read more
