Discovery through Isolation of a Small Active Component from Rabies Virus, Leading to the Production of a New Effective Vaccine

During my research for more than 40 years with viruses of animal and zoönotic viruses, particularly rabies virus, which is still a worldwide problem, it is observed that the incubation period in humans varies between 1 to 3 months and even longer. In studying the standard rabies virus it was established that the real mechanism causing paralytic symptoms and final death was not the whole rabies virus but a smaller part of it[1,2]. In order words a component containing the pathogenesis part which is the real cause of the disease and death. This part probably develops during the infection period of the virus to the brain and then produces lyses of nerve cells (neurons).
