BANGKOK -- A team of Thai scientists has developed a virus prototype to treat patients infected with rabies in a breakthrough research that could prevent mortality in humans, a scientist said.

Dr Thiravat Hemachudha of the Molecular Biology Centre for Neurological Diseases at Chulalongkorn University Hospital said his team had succeeded in developing the micro RNA virus prototype at the laboratory level and had proved it could stop the growth of rabies virus when injected into virus cells in test tube trials.

The research team spent four years on the micro RNA virus prototype and is now designing a model to test on animals.

The findings and the accreditation of the new discovery will be published in international scientific journals. The Nation-ANN
