| Research Abstract |
The aims of this study were to consist the monitoring system of the rabies in the Philippines and to conduct the molecular epidemiology analysis using the animal brain samples collected from each region in the country. As the result of the genetic analysis, we found out 1) Since rabies virus has been imported to the Philippines, the transfer of the virus over the island were few 2) viruses were tend to be kept out in the geographically isolated area. 3) the control strategy conducted by the area might be effective for eliminate the rabies.
