Management tool to guide rabies elimination programmes

Description

Global targets for elimination of human rabies mediated by dogs have been set for 2030. In the Americas countries are progressing towards interruption of transmission and declaration of rabies freedom1. Guidance for managing elimination programmes to ensure continued progress during the endgame is critical, yet often limited and lacking in specific recommendations. Characteristic spatiotemporal incidence patterns are indicative of progress, and through their identification, tailored guidance can be provided. 

Objective

To provide surveillance tools to support policymakers and practitioners to identify epidemiological situations and inform the progressive implementation of rabies elimination programmes.
