World Rabies Day is taking place on 28 September. The day marks the anniversary of Louis Pasteur's death, the French chemist and microbiologist, who developed the first rabies vaccine. It is celebrated annually to raise awareness about rabies prevention and to highlight progress in defeating this horrifying disease.

To mark the day, we have compiled a collection of our most recent journals from our journal Transactions of The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
