A study conducted in India analyzed the genetic relationships of rabies virus strains in domesticated, free-roaming, and wild animals using gene sequencing. The findings indicated high sequence similarity among strains affecting different animal categories, suggesting the possibility of a common vaccine. The research also identified distinct sublineages and emphasized regional transmission patterns, highlighting the need for targeted vaccination strategies.
