Materials and Methods: Samples of infected RABV from dog brain were collected from
Sumatera, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Bali Islands. All samples were examined based on
nucleoprotein encoding gene to determine the molecular characteristics based on homology
and phylogenetic tree compared to Pasteur Virus and RABV that came from another country
within Asia (Indonesia, China, Thailand, India, and Korea). The collected samples were
processed by one-step reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction using nucleoprotein …

Abstract Background and Aim: Several molecular studies on rabies virus (RABV) have been
conducted in Indonesia, but it does not give clear information about molecular
characteristics of previous RABV isolate in Indonesia. This study was conducted to know the
characteristic of circulating RABV to determine a suitable method to control the spreading of
RABV in Indonesia. Materials and Methods: Samples of infected RABV from dog brain were
collected from Sumatera, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Bali Islands. All samples were …
