<P> Almost all human cases of rabies were fatal until a vaccine was developed in 1885 by Louis Pasteur and Émile Roux . Their original vaccine was harvested from infected rabbits , from which the virus in the nerve tissue was weakened by allowing it to dry for five to ten days . Similar nerve tissue - derived vaccines are still used in some countries , as they are much cheaper than modern cell culture vaccines . </P>
