History Our values news Vacancies September 28 - International Day Against Rabies! 09/28/2017 World Rabies Day , initiated by the World Rabies Alliance, is celebrated annually on 28 September to raise awareness of the spread of the disease and its consequences. The date for the international day against rabies was not chosen by chance: September 28 is the anniversary of the death of Louis Pasteur, the French chemist and microbiologist who created the first ever rabies vaccine. Among infectious diseases, rabies (another name is hydrophobia) occupies a special place due to its absolute lethality (if the necessary help is not provided to an infected person in the first hours, he will inevitably die). In Russia, the rabies situation is also unfavorable: there is a tendency towards an increase in the number of regions prone to epidemics of this disease among animals. The most disadvantaged territories are the Southern and Central Federal Districts. In total, rabies is found in more than 150 countries in the world. The main source of infection for humans is dogs, primarily neglected, and among wild animals - foxes, raccoon dogs, wolves. Human infection is also possible from other animals - cows, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, donkeys, rats, hedgehogs, bats. Today, safe and effective vaccines for animals and humans are among the essential tools in the fight against rabies mortality in humans. At the same time, raising awareness is key to effective community involvement in effective rabies prevention efforts. For more than half a century, the Shchelkovo Biocombine has been producing vaccines for farm and domestic animals against rabies in order to protect them and prevent transmission of the virus to humans.
