Abstract

Rabies vaccine was used for oral immunization in mice with the locally available baits like sand, pieces of coconut shell, pieces of chickpea and wood pieces along with the additives like gram flour and jaggery solution. The efficient chewing of the baits by the mice and rupture of the buccal mucosa produced significantly higher levels of antibody titers.
