	United against Rabies Collaboration World Health Organization WHO (2019) C_WHO Open external link (3) Add to my MEDBOX Rabies is entirely preventable, and vaccines, medicines, tools and technologies have long been available to prevent people from dying of dog-mediated rabies. Nevertheless, rabies still kills about 60 000 people a year, of whom over 40% are children under 15, mainly in rural areas of economically disadvantaged countries in Africa and Asia. Of all human cases, up to 99% are acquired from the bite of an infected dog Tags: Rabies, vaccine, medicines, infected, neglected tropical diseases, Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/rest/bitstream
	Overview of rabies post-exposure prophylaxis access, procurement and distribution in selected countries in Asia and Africa, 2017–2018 Sreenivasan, N.; Li, A.; Shiferaw, M. et al. Science Direct (2019) CC Open external link (3) Add to my MEDBOX Rabies is a neglected zoonotic disease with a global burden of approximately 59,000 human deaths a year. Once clinical symptoms appear, rabies is almost invariably fatal; however, with timely and appropriate post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) consisting of wound washing, vaccine, and in some cases rabies immunoglobulin (RIG), the disease is almost entirely preventable. Access to PEP is limited in many countries, and when available, is often very expensive Tags: Rabies, Zoonotic diseases, neglected tropical diseases, PEP, Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/ar
	Elimination of human rabies in Goa, India through an integrated One Health approach Gibson, A.; Yale, G.; Corfmat, J.; et al. nature communications (2022) CC Open external link (10) Add to my MEDBOX Rabies is a devastating and societally important zoonotic disease, which is transmitted principally to humans through the bite of infected dogs. This acute, progressive viral encephalitis has the highest case fatality of any infectious disease and kills tens of thousands of people annually, with children and impoverished communities being affected disproportionately Tags: Rabies, Zoonotic diseases, infection, vaccinating dogs, neglected tropical diseases, Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-0
	Occurrence of Rabies Rabies - Bulletin - Europe; Rabies Information System of the World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO Open external link (4) Add to my MEDBOX Classical rabies caused by RABV occurs worldwide besides some isolated countries and Western Europe that are regarded rabies free. Carnivores, especially of the canidae family represent the principal reservoir species and are responsible for the maintenance of the infectious cycle and hence for the presence of the disease (see Epidemiology of rabies). While wildlife rabies maintained by different reservoirs hosts predominantly occurs in the Northern hemisphere, canine rabies is by far more important for public health in the developing world Tags: Rabies, infection, Public health, neglected tropical diseases, vaccinating dogs, Source: https://www.who-rabies-bulletin.org/site
	Epidemiology of Rabies Rabies - Bulletin - Europe; Rabies Information System of the World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO Open external link (4) Add to my MEDBOX All lyssaviruses have evolved closely with distinct natural reservoir hosts. The latter are animals species in which a pathogen of an infectious disease are maintained independently. For lyssaviruses, these are a wide range of mammalian species within the Carnivora and Chiroptera (bats) orders with a global distribution Tags: Rabies, animals, pathogen, desinfection, neglected tropical diseases, Epidemiology, Source: https://www.who-rabies-bulletin.org/site
	Can India finally eliminate rabies? A state-level study from Goa offers hopeful signs Prabhu, M. Vaccines Work (2022) CC Open external link (6) Add to my MEDBOX For more than 100 years, the clearest route to elimination of dog-mediated rabies has been via mass vaccination of the animal hosts. It’s worked in plenty of countries. Still, in others, like India, which grapples with a third of the world’s rabies burden, large populations of free-roaming, hard-to-track, often hard-to-reach dogs have made elimination an elusive goal Tags: Rabies, Elimination, vaccinating dogs, India, neglected tropical diseases, Source: https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/can-in
	Rabies & One Health: From basics to cross-sectoral action to stop human rabies deaths World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO Open external link (3) Add to my MEDBOX Rabies is a fatal zoonotic disease most often transmitted to people via bites from infected dogs. This course provides a general introduction to rabies, and the One Health approach currently taken to prevent it. It consists of seven video-lectures, demonstration videos, and lessons learnt from people who work at the frontline of rabies elimination programmes around the world. It targets both a general audience and those who would like to learn more about rabies and the pathway to eliminating this disease – like prospective and current public health and animal health practitioners in rabies endemic countries Tags: Rabies, Zoonotic diseases, infection, Elimination, animal's health, Public health, neglected tropical diseases, Source: https://openwho.org/courses/NTDs-Rabies-

	Human and dog rabies prevention and control World Health Organization WHO; Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (2009) C_WHO View PDF(1) Download (1) Add to my MEDBOX Report of the WHO/Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Consultation. The Consultation was organized back-to-back with the first annual meeting of the International Coordinating Group of the BMGF-funded project for human and dog rabies elimination in developing countries, held at WHO headquarters, Geneva, Switzerland, from 5 to 7 October 2009. This allowed the Consultation to benefit from the participation of the national coordinators and advisers of the BMGF-funded projects in the Philippines, South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal) and the United Republic of Tanzani Tags: Rabies, consultations, Prevention, Vaccination, PrEP, project, Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/hand
	One Health, Zero Deaths Global Alliance for Rabies Control (2022) CC Open external link (18) Add to my MEDBOX World Rabies Day is the biggest event on the global rabies calendar, coordinated by GARC and it has been commemorated every year on September 28 – the anniversary of the death of Louis Pasteur – since 2007. World Rabies Day aims to raise awareness and advocate for rabies elimination globally. It is an event designed to be inclusive, uniting people, organizations, and stakeholders across all sectors against rabies – because together we can eliminate rabies! With this concept of togetherness and unity in mind, the theme for this year’s World Rabies Day is: Rabies: One Health, Zero Deaths Tags: Rabies, Elimination, global, One Health, neglected tropical diseases, Source: https://rabiesalliance.org/world-rabies-
