World Rabies day

WORLD RABIES DAY
28 September

59,000 people die of rabies every year, every country in the world except Antarctica has reported rabies deaths. #Zeroby30, world leaders have promised to eliminate Rabies human deaths by 2030.

With the exception of Antarctica, rabies is endemic on all continents. Of the tens of thousands of deaths occurring annually due to rabies, 95% of cases are reported in Asia and Africa.

 While awareness is the key driver for success of communities to engage in effective rabies prevention.

Rabies is a 100% vaccine-preventable disease. Countries embarking on rabies elimination programmes have successfully experienced marked reductions, often progressing to the elimination of rabies.

Elimination programs often revolve around mass dog vaccination campaigns, where at least 70% of the dog population should be covered in order to break the cycle of transmission in dogs, and to humans.

Elimination Strategies:
Past rabies elimination strategies included the reduction of population density through culling, based on the rationale that rabies transmission is density-dependent with disease density increasing proportional to host density. However studies have shown that culling is an ineffective means of elimination and mass vaccination is most efficacious to reduce disease incidence in all species.

The Bangladesh canine rabies elimination program focuses primarily on dog bite management and mass dog vaccination to reduce the incidence of human deaths. Since 2011, dog vaccines have been administered in 58 of the 64 districts, combined with local capacity building and knowledge transfer, resulting in a 50% decrease in human rabies deaths, demonstrating the effectiveness of mass vaccination.

NOTE : BUT IN INDIA THERE HAS BEEN WIDESPREAD CULLING OF DOGS WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED UNLAWFUL BY SUPEREME COURT AND ANIMAL WELFARE BOARD.
