Organizations give a blueprint for rabies control in dogsSource: About 98 percent of people who die of rabies contract the virus from dogs, and a coalition is working to give countries a plan to eliminate the canine rabies virus variant. The guide is intended to provide a single comprehensive source for practical, up-to-date rabies elimination information that can be used by individuals, organizations, and government agencies; it was published in June at www.rabiesblueprint.com. The site was developed by the Global Alliance for Rabies Control, Partners for Rabies Prevention, and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization's Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases in Bamako, Mali. Peter Costa, a spokesman for the Global Alliance for Rabies Control and the World Rabies Day coordinator, said the blueprint was inspired by visits to some countries in Asia and Africa where rabies is endemic and the scarcity of public health officials who know how to control the transmission of the canine rabies virus variant. The site creators found that papers and reports with information on rabies control were scattered in publications and on websites that were not always easy to find. Read more ...
Rabies continues to kill in Africa and AsiaSource: Control of the stray dog population makes a significant contribution to preventing human rabies cases. The OIE has adopted and published international standards on this matter and recommends their application worldwide (Section 7, 2010 Terrestrial Animal Health Code, http://www.oie.int/eng/normes/mcode/en_titre_1.7.htm). “However when local conditions allow it, dog vaccination is the most efficient measure. The cost of vaccinating dogs is very much lower than the cost of treating people after they have been bitten,” Dr Bernard Vallat, OIE Director General explains. Read more ...
New Tool in the Global Fight against RabiesBlueprint for Canine Rabies Elimination and Human Rabies Prevention “Rabies continues to be an active threat in many countries throughout the world”, said Global Alliance for Rabies Control’s Executive Director Dr Deborah Briggs. “The Blueprint is a breakthrough for the global rabies community and serves as a guide for countries that want to prevent human rabies by eliminating canine rabies within their borders.”
Rabies Awareness On 6th May, 2010 Campaign, Lahore, Pakistan(Jointly organized by FVS, SPCA, SAVERS) Chief guest,DR MANSOOR,DR TAHIR AND DR ANWAR gave presentations at this disease Rabies is a disease with the highest case fatality rate of any known infectious disease. Rabies exists in every continent except Antarctica. Rabies has no boundaries and continues to spread across previously rabies-free countries (e.g. the recent news about dog rabies invading the tropical island paradise of Bali). Rabies kills humans regardless of their age, nationality, religion or cultural beliefs. In fact, rabies kills one person every ten minutes - more than 55,000 people every year. Sadly, over 50% of these deaths are children under 15 years of age. Some of the facts about rabies in certain countries include: infected sheep brain vaccine is still used instead of modern vaccines; human rabies victims are sent home to die because it is cheaper to transport a live body than a dead body; and dog bite victims visit local healers where they are given worthless treatments including magic amulets or told to rub chili powder into their wounds as a cure for rabies. In order to address these issues and effectively reach across all continents, countries, religious backgrounds etc All the speakers stressed on Creating awareness among public on responsible pet ownership (Licensing & vaccination), stray dog control, proper garbage disposable, Providing post exposure prophylaxis for all animal bite victims & preventive vaccination for school children for preventing & reducing rabies both among animal & human population. Intradermal route of administration of rabies vaccine was given to an animal bite victim in front of public to create awareness on need to utilize this service which is provided free of cost in PET CENTRE,UVAS,LAHORE,PAKISTAN
