If you're about to travel to a rabies endemic area, here's the steps you can take to protect yourself, and help those most at risk.
I live in a rabies area
Around 3 billion people live in areas at risk of rabies – almost half of the world's population. If this includes you, there are some critical steps you can take to minimize your risk and protect your family.
What is Rabies?
Rabies is one of the world's deadliest diseases. A disease so dangerous that once symptoms show, it is too late. Death is inevitable.
From the history of the disease, to its depiction in culture, there's a lot to learn about rabies and what makes it so terrifying.
Rabies in dogs
99% of all human rabies deaths are caused by an infected dog bite. But dogs are as much the victim as people. Our scientifically-proven approach catches rabies at its source – returning dogs to their rightful place as man's best friend.
Rabies in people
Rabies is a killer that is massively underreported and systemically ignored, thanks in part to disproportionately affecting the most disadvantaged, most vulnerable and most isolated of society.
Find out how the disease adversely impacts entire communities and countries around the world.
