KEY POINTS
Final objective of control measures: prevention
and elimination of the disease in Humans.
Mass vaccination of dogs is the most successful
method for control and possibly elimination of
dog mediated rabies (WHO, 2005).
The theoretical level of vaccination coverage
should be at least 70% (WHO, 2005) to lead to
an average
0 incidence in
both humans and animals.
Given the high turnover of many dog
populations, all dogs should be
vaccinated,
puppies (<3 months)
included (Cliquet et al, 2001).

IMMUNOLOGICAL RESPONSE TO
VACCINATION
Vaccination against rabies with injectable vaccines
induces a humoral response with the production of
rabies neutralising antibodies.

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE
Rabies surveillance is the basis for any control
and prevention programme
Surveillance based on laboratory investigation
on brain of dead or sick animals (not on killed
at random dogs)
No sample size Animals must be sampled
from all
parts of the country and all
along the year
Routine reference diagnostic test (WHO, 1996;
OIE, 2011):
Antigen detection (FAT): gold standard test
Virus isolation RTCIT / MIT if cell cultures
are not available
Viral genome detection

CONCLUSION
To be sustainable, rabies control programmes
based on vaccination of dogs should be
integrated in a multiannual project of rabies
elimination.
Mass dog vaccination programs using injectable
vaccines are successful for rabies control in
different places (e.g. Latin America, Bohol, Bali,
KwaZulu Natal, Sri Lanka).
Priority of government for rabies control is the main
prerequisite associated with long term funding
insurance.
Oral vaccination trials should be undertaken in
those areas where rabies control using injectable
vaccines is a success to increase the vaccination
coverage.
