EURL rabies
Collection of samples, techniques, validation and interpretation of the diagnostic methods for the purposes of rabies surveillance are presented here.
Diagnostic methods considered compliant are presented in the WOAH rabies manual. A list of procedures inspired by the WOAH official methods is also proposed.

Strain database presentation
Strain database
The EURL has developed a database recording epidemiological information on rabies strains including the corresponding Genbank sequence accession number. Linking Genbank numbers to this database will avoid the duplication of information and prevent redundancies for the NRLs since the GenBank database is an appropriate and useful tool already used for publication, research and analysis of sequences. The advantage of the EURL's sequence database is that it will make epidemiological information related to this sequence available.

Workshop for rabies 2009
♦ 17 November 2009 ♦
The second workshop for rabies took place on 17 November 2009 in Nancy. Sixty-six participants from 37 laboratories coming from 32 countries, and three institutions including the European Commission and EFSA attended this event.
The overall number of participants was higher than in 2008. This is mainly due to the fact that the triennial rabies serology meeting was planned the following day and that the majority of participants were attending both days. A breakdown of participants from EC National Reference Laboratories (NRL) shows that 41 participants came from 23 laboratories. Only four EC countries were excused, suggesting a substantial increase of EC NRL attendance compared to last year. For the second workshop for rabies, the European Member States were represented along with countries from all over the world. Although the meeting was more specifically dedicated to National Reference Laboratories, the participation of other laboratories was highly appreciated and discussions between participants were all the more fruitful overall. Discussions on work programme 2010, proficiency tests, sequence database and presentations by National Reference Laboratories were proof that rabies concerns remain. Nevertheless, there is a strong consciousness from all Member States that the disease can be efficiently controlled if concerted efforts are carried out.
