Brain Neutralization of Rabies Virus to Distinguish Recovered Animals from Previously Vaccinated Animals

Abstract

The cerebro-neutralization test of Kubes and Gallia was found to be more specific than the serum neutralization test for distinguishing between rabies-vaccinated and rabies-recovered white mice. However, more work is needed, especially on natural vector-hosts, to determine whether the test is as reliable for those species as it appears to be for white mice.
