Standards on Rabies Vaccines
Ch 2.1.13. Outline Summary Section A. Introduction (aetiology) Section B. Diagnostic techniques Identification of the agent Serological test Section C. Requirement for vaccines For injectable use (minimum requirements) For oral use (minimum requirements) World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 7
C. Requirements for Vaccines General background RABV; causative agent of the classical rabies & responsible for the vast majority of all human rabies cases all lyssaviruses can cause indistinguishable fatal encephalitis both in humans and other mammals Licensed vaccine available Parenteral for domestic animals Oral vaccines for wild animals Rabies vaccines produced in egg or cell culture nerve-tissue vaccine prepared in animals should be discontinued in animals Phylogroup; serological neutralisation within phylogroups, but very limited cross-neutralisation between phylogroups World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 8

RABV for challenge or vaccine manufacturing Pasteur strain Street Alabama Dufferin Flury strain Other strain 1882 France from a rabid cow infected by a dog Passages in rabbits and mice then passages in cells at different levels: - Pasteur virus (PV- 12) - Kissling (CVS-11) - CVS challenge virus strain (CVS- 27) - Pitman-Moore (PM) - RV-97 1935 USA from a dog Primary cells of hamsters & pigs (10 passages) = ERA virus BHK 21 cell line passages: - SAD Vnukovo (USSR Russia) - SAD Vnukovo-32 - SAD Bern (Switzerland) - SAD-B19 - SAG2 - ERA 333 1939 USA from Miss Flury transmitted by a dog 136 passages in 1- day-old chicks 40/50 passages in embryonated eggs: low egg passage (LEP) 220/227 passages in embryonated eggs: high egg passage (HEP) CTN: China from a dog (1956) World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 10
C. Requirements for Vaccines Background Production Authorisation/ Licensing/ Registration Rabies vax for injectable use Domestic animals and wildlife Recombinant, modified live and inactivated virus vaccines Apply according to manufacturer s prescription Monitor vaccination coverage in the population Rabies vax for oral use Wild animals. Domestic?? Mainly administered as baits Efficacy and safety (target & non-target species) Modified live virus or recombinant vaccines Monitoring the impact in the field?

Vaccine Bank
OIE Rabies Vaccine Bank for dog vax Vaccine banks can help to guarantee: High-quality vaccines complying with international standards Financial mechanisms allowing direct purchase by countries or donor funds (multi-donor trust fund) Cost reduction per vaccine unit (Economies of scale) Reduction of administrative delays and costs associated with local registration and the purchase of biologicals/ local procurement/import procedures Support for multi-party vaccination campaigns Country incentive to engage in dog vaccination EU-HPED Programme (finished Dec 2014) The Vaccine Bank mechanism still exists and continues to operate (funds now provided by countries or other donors) World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 13
