االيوم العالمي لداء الكلب

[[Dear veterinary colleagues

I would like to bring to your attention that 2011 is World Rabies Day (28 September).

This initiative, which began in 2007, as particularly important. It aims to raise awareness about the impact of human and animal rabies, how easy it is to prevent, and how to eliminate the main global sources.

Rabies is a widespread, neglected and under-reported zoonotic disease with almost 100% mortality in untreated cases. It causes significant social and economic burden in many countries, particularly in Africa, Asia and Latin America. In some situations it is also having significant environmental impacts. At least 55 000 people die annually from rabies, though the true figure is likely to be over 100 000. Canine rabies is responsible for over 90% of these deaths. Most of those killed are children.

What about increasing awareness and enlightenment through the use of television or radio media? Are there spay and neuter clinics for strays? Capture and euthanize programs? I am here to learn. Thank you and many blessings. Dr. Julia Avery
