The present disclosure is directed towards chimeric glycoproteins wherein the clip region, a core region, a flap region, and a transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain are defined by starting from the amino terminus of the protein, these domains are comprised of the following amino acid residue ranges: clip, 1 through 40 to 60; core, 40 to 60 through 249 to 281; flap, 249 to 281 through 419 to 459; the transmembrane domain is comprised of amino acids 460 through 480, and the remaining amino acids 481 through 525 comprise the cytoplasmic domain; and wherein the clip, core, flap, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic domain comprise a chimeric combination of at least two lyssavirus, wherein the chimeric glycoprotein is advantageously inserted into a rabies-based vaccine vector.
