Item Vacuna antirrábica de cerebro de ratón lactante: Composición antigénica y capacidad inmunógena(s.d.)Suckling mouse brain (SMB) rabies vaccine is the preparation most widely used in the countries of Latin America and the CaribbeanItem Las vacunas antirrábicas del presente y del futuro(s.d.)Currently available antirabies vaccines prepared from either animal brains or embryonated eggs have the unavoidable disadvantage of products prepared in vivo; the bulk of antigenic material in the vaccine is not viral but cellular. The hazards associated with the use of such material are well knownItem Una demostracion, sobre el terreno, de la lucha antirrabica utilizando vacuna cultivada en embrion de pollo(s.d.)WHO Bull 10(5):743, 1954 (English)Item Campañas antirrábicas autofinanciadas en Colombia(s.d.)The author analyzes a rabies program begun in the Department of Antioquia (Colombia), which confirms the theory that self-financed rabies campaigns are possible if a rotating fund is established with direct assistance from the community. The plan is considered to be equally applicable in developed and developing countries, since it rests on the collection of a modest fee for each dose of vaccine used. In Antioquia, the immediate goal was to vaccinate 70 per cent of the total dog population. The author describes how such a campaign was conducted and outlines effective administrative, financial, and educational measures in this regard. Reference is made to the manner of integrating the efforts of public health teams at the local and the regional levels, to the immediate and future scope of a campaign plan that could be applied in all countries in Latin America and other developing areas. In the opinion of the author, rabies could be eradicated by this means within a very short time, at least in the urban areas. Self-financed programs could generate a sufficient amount of funds to promote additional research on and control of rabies, as well as other zoonoses
