Book excerpt: Rabies is the most current and comprehensive account of one of the oldest diseases known that remains a significant public health threat despite the efforts of many who have endeavored to control it in wildlife and domestic animals. During the past five years since publication of the first edition there have been new developments in many areas on the rabies landscape. This edition takes on a more global perspective with many new authors offering fresh outlooks on each topic. Clinical features of rabies in humans and animals are discussed as well as basic science aspects, molecular biology, pathology, and pathogenesis of this disease. Current methods used in defining geographic origins and animal species infected in wildlife are presented, along with diagnostic methods for identifying the strain of virus based on its genomic sequence and antigenic structure. This multidisciplinary account is essential for clinicians as well as public health advisors, epidemiologists, wildlife biologists, and research scientists wanting to know more about the virus and the disease it causes. Offers a unique global perspective on rabies where dog rabies is responsible for killing more people than yellow More than 7 million people are potentially exposed to the virus annually and about 50,000 people, half of them children, die of rabies each year New edition includes greatly expanded coverage of bat rabies which is now the most prominent source of human rabies in the New World and Western Europe, where dog rabies has been controlled Recent successes of controlling wildlife rabies with an emphasis on prevention is discussed Approximately 40% updated material incorporates recent knowledge on new approaches to therapy of human rabies as well as issues involving organ and tissue transplantation Includes an increase in illustrations to more accurately represent this diseases’ unique horror

Book Synopsis Strategic Framework for Elimination of Human Rabies Transmitted by Dogs in the South-East Asia Region by : Searo
Download or read book Strategic Framework for Elimination of Human Rabies Transmitted by Dogs in the South-East Asia Region written by Searo. This book was released on 2014-12-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dog bites are the primary source of human infection in rabies-endemic countries and account for 96% of rabies cases in the South-East Asia Region. Elimination of human rabies is dependent on elimination of dog rabies. Some countries have a comprehensive rabies control program but it is a neglected area in others. New innovative tools and techniques have been developed in recent years to improve dog vaccination coverage, dog population management and accessibility of modern rabies vaccines. Considering the importance of consolidating achievements in rabies control in Member countries, the WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia has developed a regional strategy for elimination of human rabies transmitted by dogs in the Region. The strategy aims to eliminate human rabies through progressive control of dog rabies and human rabies prophylaxis in rabies-endemic countries and to maintain the rabies free status in rabies-free areas of the South-East Asia Region by 2020.

Book Synopsis Towards Elimination of Dog Mediated Human Rabies by : Salome Dürr
Download or read book Towards Elimination of Dog Mediated Human Rabies written by Salome Dürr. This book was released on 2017-10-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rabies is an ancient zoonotic viral disease that still exerts a high impact on human and animal health. The disease is almost 100% fatal after clinical signs appear, and it kills tens of thousands of people per year worldwide, particularly in Africa and many parts of Asia. Although the disease in humans can be prevented by timely post-exposure prophylaxis, its access and affordability is limited in rabies endemic countries. With 99% of infections in humans caused by rabid domestic dog bites, controlling the infection in this reservoir population has been proven to be most effective to reduce and eliminate human rabies cases. In this context, this Research Topic invited contributions on the control and elimination of dog mediated human rabies. Publications on epidemiological, educational, policy-related and economic aspects of dog and human rabies surveillance, implementation of control in dogs and humans and scientific documentation of success stories were consolidated. We hope that these articles contribute to reaching the ambitious goal, set by key players in global health, of the elimination of dog mediated human rabies by 2030.
