Rabies is a vaccine-preventable viral disease present in more than 150 countries around the world. Globally, almost 60,000 people die each year from rabies, of which more than 58% are in Asia and around 45% in South Asia with especially high incidence in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Vaccination coverage of both people and stray dogs is low in the region and in general people are not given enough protection and information about pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis. Engagement of multiple sectors and One Health collaboration including community education, awareness programmes and vaccination campaigns are critical to control and elimination of rabies.
狂犬病是一种可通过疫苗预防的病毒性疾病，全球有150多个国家存在该病。在全球范围内，每年有近6万人死于狂犬病，其中超过58%在亚洲，约45%在南亚，印度、巴基斯坦和孟加拉国的发病率尤其高。该地区人群和流浪狗的疫苗接种覆盖率都很低，而且一般来说，人们没有得到足够的保护以及关于暴露前和暴露后预防的信息。多部门参与和包括社区教育、提高认识方案及疫苗接种运动在内的“同一健康”合作对于控制和消除狂犬病至关重要。
