Description:An estimated 59,000 people die from rabies each year, nearly half of whom are children. Rabies claims the life of one person every 9 minutes, putting it among the deadliest of all global zoonotic diseases, or diseases that are transmitted between animals and people.
Human rabies is primarily contracted from the bite of an infected dog, making canine vaccinations an important prevention strategy. Canine-spread rabies has been well controlled in developed countries through mass vaccination of dogs. The United States eliminated canine rabies in 2007. However, 122 developing countries still have dog-mediated human rabies deaths. In these countries, mass canine vaccinations are either not possible or extremely difficult, making containment of the disease challenging.
