Abstract: Rabies is a zoonosis caused by rabies virus,which has been characterized by infection of central nervous system.Rabies virus,which can cause fatal infections in humans and other mammals,has the characteristic of infecting neurotropic,and the mortality rate caused by rabies is almost 100%.Routine diagnosis of rabies include clinical symptoms,while a final diagnosis depends on laboratory diagnostic methods,such as etiological diagnosis,serological diagnosis and molecular biological diagnosis.As a zoonotic infectious disease,there is a global distribution situation of the rabies,and the number of deaths caused by rabies virus infection in China is the second in the world.Therefore,strengthening the awareness of disease etiology and epidemiology is very important to comprehensive prevention measures of rabies.The author mainly introduced the research progress on pathogen,epidemiology and diagnosis technology of rabies virus.In addition,the advantages and disadvantages of various methods were compared respectively,in order to provide scientific basis for the further study and rapid diagnosis of rabies.

Key words: rabies virus; epidemiology; etiological diagnosis; serological diagnosis; research progress
