Description
Dog-mediated rabies continues to cause an approximated 60,000 deaths a year worldwide. Strategies to prevent and respond to rabies infections are highly cross-sectoral and provide an excellent blueprint of how and where NTD interventions could be better integrated to deliver One Health solutions.
