At the National Reference Laboratory for Rabies, direct FAT was routinely done using an anti-RABV nucleocapsid fluorescent conjugate (Bio-Rad, USA). For diagnostic purposes, PCR was also routinely performed using primers that target a portion of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase-coding region. Extraction of viral RNA from the original fresh brain samples was done using QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
