One step closer to a transmissible vaccine for rabies virus

Abstract

A recent study in PLOS Biology shows that a betaherpesvirus circulating with the vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus, could serve as an effective vector for a transmissible vaccine capable of reducing the risk of rabies virus spillover in Peru. This Primer explores a recent study in PLOS Biology showing that a betaherpesvirus circulating in the vampire bat could serve as an effective vector for a transmissible vaccine capable of reducing the risk of rabies virus spillover in Peru.
