Dogs and people have lived together for thousands of years. As the main source of rabies infections in humans (over 90%), controlling rabies in dogs is essential to ending human rabies deaths.  In this episode we’re discussing how different concepts of dog ownership in Asia and Africa affect mass dog vaccination, testing and disease surveillance. We'll be talking about the connection between dog population management and rabies control; and celebrating the news that Gavi, the Vaccines Alliance, has agreed to roll out a long-promised investment in human rabies vaccines - a potential game-changer for countries struggling to end human rabies deaths. Host Professor Katie Hampson is joined by Dr Gowri Yale of Mission Rabies, India, Dr Thumbi Mwangi from University of Nairobi and Dr Elly Hiby of ICAM Coalition. Dr Bernadette Abela of WHO also joins to discuss the Gavi Board decision on PEP. Send us a textWe would love to hear from you.
