    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Rabies poses a significant public health threat in Ethiopia.
    • Dog bites are the primary cause of human rabies exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis.
    • Stray dogs are a major concern due to their unpredictability and lack of observation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the epidemiology of rabies in Ethiopia.
    • To identify the primary animal reservoirs and transmission routes.
    • To understand demographic risk factors for rabies mortality.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of rabies case data in Ethiopia.
    • Analysis of etiological agents and species involved in transmission.
    • Demographic analysis of human rabies cases and fatalities.

    Main Results:

    • Dogs account for over 98% of human rabies exposures and vaccinations.
    • Rabies fatalities disproportionately affect individuals under 40, particularly males.
    • Lack of dog observation post-bite complicates management and treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Dog-mediated rabies remains a critical issue in Ethiopia.
    • Targeted interventions focusing on young males and stray dog control are essential.
    • Enhanced surveillance and public awareness campaigns are crucial for rabies prevention.
