Rabies is preventable through vaccination and prompt post-exposure prophylaxis. Eliminating canine rabies via herd immunity and community education is the most cost-effective long-term strategy.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Control
  • One Health Initiative

Background:

  • Rabies is nearly always fatal but preventable with vaccines and immune globulin.
  • Limited access to and knowledge of rabies prevention tools hinder efforts in high-burden countries.
  • Inappropriate use of vaccines and immune globulin leads to shortages and preventable deaths.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the cost-effectiveness of canine rabies elimination for long-term human rabies prevention.
  • To advocate for a "One Health" strategy focusing on sustainable canine vaccination and community engagement.
  • To identify key components for successful canine rabies elimination programs.

Main Methods:

  • Review of successful canine rabies elimination strategies globally.

  • Analysis of the "One Health" approach integrating animal and human health.
  • Identification of essential elements for community-based vaccination programs.

    • Main Results:

    • Canine rabies elimination is more cost-effective than solely focusing on human prophylaxis.
    • Community-based, locally guided dog vaccination programs achieve sustainable herd immunity.
    • Successful programs require government support, international collaboration, and long-term commitment.

    Conclusions:

    • Focusing on eliminating canine rabies is crucial for preventing human deaths.
    • A "One Health" strategy with community education and humane population management is effective.
    • Future advancements include new vaccine technologies, diagnostics, and canine immunocontraceptives.
