Pasteur Brewing Louis Pasteur – Science, Health, and Brewing The term is derived from the Latin “rabies” meaning “madness”. All human cases of rabies were fatal until a vaccine was developed in 1885 by Louis Pasteur and Émile Roux. Treatment after exposure, known as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), is highly successful. A recombinant vaccine called V-RG has been successfully used to prevent outbreaks of rabies in wildlife. Currently pre-exposure immunization has been used in both human and non-human populations. In many countries domesticated animals are required to be vaccinated.
