Rabies control in dogs

Especially companion animals such as dogs and cats are potential vectors for rabies transmission to humans. Canine or dog-mediated rabies contributes to more than 99% of all human rabies cases; half of the global human population especially in the developing world lives in canine rabies-endemic areas and is considered at risk of contracting rabies.

All lyssaviruses have evolved closely with distinct natural reservoir hosts. The latter are animals species in which a pathogen of an infectious disease are maintained independently. For lyssaviruses, these are a wide range of mammalian species within the Carnivora and Chiroptera (bats) orders with a global distribution.

Because of the high fatality rate, the prevention of rabies infection is of utmost importance.
