Reviews:
"
Rabies
, the most recent title in Greenwood's 'Biographies of Disease' series, provides a good basic introduction to
rabies epidemiology. It is quite suitable for general/non-science readers interested in learning more about the nature of
this disease. . . . Recommended. Lower- and upper-level undergraduates; general readers."

Description:
Diseases have a history, and understanding that history helps us understand how best to treat and control disease today. Today's students are confronted with a panoply of often-frightening illnesses and afflictions - the Biography of Diseases series provides students with the information that they need to understand the origin of various maladies, how they impact contemporary society, and how doctors and diseases researchers from around the world are fighting to devise treatments to alleviate or cure these. This volume, Rabies, examines that disease that caused fear and panic for centuries because of the horror of dying of rabies and the near certainty of death once one has contracted the disease. And despite the famous vaccine discovered by Louis Pasteur in the 19th centuries, thousands still die of rabies every year in developing countries.
Title Features:
The volume includes a glossary of terms and a bibliography of useful sources for learning more about the disease.
