The dog was killed by the local CDC staff and vicinity villager, its brain tissue sample was taken within 24 h. The epidemic focus was disinfected and the injured people received post exposure prophylaxis （PEP）. Pathogens were detected in the tissue sample by the provincial CDC. The immunity and safety of rabies vaccine were assayed after PEP, the injured people were regularly followed up in the following 2 y and 6 mon.展开更多
