From the many existing documents on the history of rabies in animals, it is possible to describe with precision the practical measures adopted for the surveillance and control of rabies in animals from antiquity until the 18th century. Surveillance is based on clinical diagnosis, post-mortem examination, animal inoculation and knowledge of the conditions under which infection occurred: aetiology, pathogenesis, susceptible species, virulent material, mode of infection, incubation period, etc. The historical data are assembled and compared, with comments on each of these points. Control is based on the application of general disease control measures and attempts at vaccination and treatment. A study of these procedures enables a comparison of their efficacy and a description of the major steps which led to (or delayed) the work of Louis Pasteur.
从众多现存的关于动物狂犬病历史的文献中，可以精确描述自古至今直至18世纪在动物中监测和控制狂犬病所采取的实际措施。监测基于临床诊断、尸检、动物接种以及对感染发生条件的了解：病因、发病机制、易感物种、致病物质、感染方式、潜伏期等。对历史数据进行了收集和比较，并对上述各点进行了评论。控制措施基于一般疾病控制措施的应用以及疫苗接种和治疗的尝试。对这些程序的研究能够比较它们的功效，并描述导致（或延缓）路易·巴斯德工作进展的主要步骤。
