MANHATTAN -- New findings about innate and adaptive immune responses
have formed the basis for the development of new rabies virus vaccines,
according to researcher Bernhard Dietzschold.

He spoke about Borna disease and the rabies virus Nov. 14 at an
international symposium at Kansas State University. The Emerging
Infections Symposium: A Tribute to the One Medicine, One Health Concept
drew nearly 150 researchers from across North America, Europe, Asia and
the Middle East.

Dietzschold, from Thomas Jefferson University, said these new rabies
virus vaccines have pre- and post-exposure efficacies that are superior
to conventional vaccines.

K-State's own rabies lab, part of the K-State College of Veterinary
Medicine, performs a variety of services including serologic testing of
humans, serologic testing of animals for export to rabies-fee
countries, diagnostic testing of Kansas and Nebraska animals,
maintenance of numerous related databases, and regional variant typing
on samples from throughout the Great Plains. More information about the
lab is available at:

The Emerging Infections Symposium's major sponsors included the Kansas

Bioscience Authority and the Heartland BioAgro Consortium, which is
leading an effort to bring a federal institute for animal health to
Kansas. K-State is one of the finalists for relocation of the National
Bio and Agro-Defense Facility.

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
