Being male and living in an urban setting were found to be risk factors for human rabies exposure in 2011 and these factors were associated with rabies Exposure in 2013.
Review on Immunotherapy Strategies against Infectious and Noninfectious Diseases
TLDR
The potential for prophylaxis and therapy for veterinary medicine and human medicine comprise the following: control of infectious disease, cancer therapy, specific treatment of autoimmune disease, immunomodulation of allergic disease, however, risks associated with immunotherapies, such as toxicity and hypersensitivity, also have been documented.

A Review of the Economics of the Prevention and Control of Rabies
TLDR
There is an urgent need to develop a cheaper humanrabies vaccine or further refine the ‘low-dose’ PEP regimes, as large differences between countries within a region and regional averages can conceal notable changes in incidences over time.
