Rabies Today is produced by United Against Rabies: working together to end human deaths from dog-mediated rabies by 2030.

"Zero by 30" is the Global Strategic Plan to achieve zero human deaths from dog- mediated rabies by 2030. It was published in 2018, well before the pandemic. With just 7 years to go, can “Zero by 30” still be achieved? What progress has been made since the goal was set? Does it need to be extended? Join host Prof Katie Hampson and her expert guests as they map out international priorities for the coming years.

In the Americas, canine rabies variants have infected several wildlife species which now maintain independent cycles of transmission. In Namibia, kudu have emerged as unlikely species to be especially vulnerable to rabies transmission within the herd. Join Professor Katie Hampson and her guests in a fascinating conversation about rabies, dogs and wildlife and what that means for efforts to achieve Zero by 30.

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.

Only a fraction of human rabies cases are reported to the WHO's Global Health Observatory and the quality of national data on rabies deaths is extremely variable. In Episode 2 in this series, Professor Katie Hampson explores the barriers to effective rabies reporting and what that means for rabies control efforts. Katie's guests are Dr Ryan Wallace of the US Centers for Disease Control, Dr Moses Djimatey, Deputy Director of Public Health in Ghana's NE Region, and Dr Ashwath Narayana, immediate past President of India's Association for Prevention and Control of Rabies.
