Although an effective human rabies vaccine has existed since 1885,
rabies continues to kill an estimated 59,000 people every year.
Sixty percent of these human deaths occur in Asia. The number of
animals, especially dogs, who die of rabies is uncalculated. To
work towards the global target of eliminating dog-mediated human
rabies deaths, the rabies community is applying the One Health
approach by jointly focusing on humans and dogs. Written by a
multidisciplinary group of scholars and rabies control program
specialists, this book is a collection of experiences and
observations on the challenges and successes along the path to
rabies control and prevention in Asia. The book: grounds chapters
in solid scientific theory, but retains a direct, practice-focused
and inspirational approach; provides numerous examples of lessons
learned and experience-based knowledge gained across countries at
different levels of rabies elimination; brings together and
highlights the practices of a strong, international rabies network
that operates according to the One Health concept. Covering
perspectives from almost a dozen Asian countries and a wide range
of sectors and disciplines, such as healthcare facilities,
veterinary services, laboratories, public health institutes,
wildlife research centers and academia, this book is an invaluable
resource for rabies practitioners and scholars, but also those
working in the wider fields of disease control and cross-sectoral
One Health.
