Rabies is a fatal, preventable zoonosis, but it is not effectively controlled throughout much of the developing world. The impetus for control is hampered by a lack of awareness of its true impact. We estimate a disability-adjusted life year (DALY) score for rabies to quantify the disease impact relative to other diseases to set priorities for public health interventions.
狂犬病是一种致命但可预防的人畜共患病,然而在许多发展中世界地区,它并未得到有效控制。对狂犬病真实影响缺乏认识阻碍了防控工作的推进。我们估算了狂犬病的伤残调整生命年(DALY)得分,以量化该疾病相对于其他疾病的影响,从而为公共卫生干预设定优先事项。
