Introduction
Rabies is a neglected zoonotic disease. Most human deaths from rabies occur in Asia and Africa, caused by bites from rabid dogs. Mass vaccination of dogs in infected areas interrupts the infectious cycle is the method of choice to control rabies in both humans and dogs.
The OIE provides science-based standards, guidelines and recommendations for the control of rabies in animals, diagnosis of rabies infection and production of high-quality veterinary vaccines.
In Asia and the Pacific region, the OIE collaborates with the regional tripartite partners to support OIE Members to control and eliminate dog-mediated rabies by 2030.
