Interview with Rodney E. Rohde, Ph.D on Outbreak News Today. Hosted and authored by Robert Herriman and re-published here with permission.

Rabies has been a topic several times on the radio show where I looked at a variety of topics related to this lethal virus.

On the return to the airwaves of the Outbreak News This Week Radio Show Sunday, I look at rabies with a different set of topics–some history, some mythology and public health and diagnostics.

Texas State University Program Chair for the Clinical Laboratory Science Program and friend of the show, Rodney Rohde, PhD joined me to discuss these rabies topics.
