Rabies in Africa
Manage episode 431767934 series 3472781
Rabies still kills at least 25,000 people each year in Africa, many of them children. It also kills huge numbers of livestock animals at great cost to farming and pastoral communities.
In this episode, Katie Hampson reports from northern Tanzania where there has been some progress in bringing rabies under control, but also meets a family whose son has recently been infected.
Across Africa, the people most vulnerable to rabies usually live in remote and rural areas, where dog vaccination rates are low, awareness of the disease is limited, and human rabies vaccines for PEP are often unavailable.
Also in this episode we go to Nigeria to find out how dog meat is linked to rabies, South Africa for the latest on rabies in seals, and we hear about plans for a continent-wide rabies control strategy.
Rabies Today is hosted by Professor Katie Hampson of the University of Glasgow.
Her guests in this episode are:
Dr Huyam Salih, Director, AU-Inter-African Bureau of Animal Resources
Dr Christian Tetteh Duamor, Rabies Elimination Project, Tanzania
Dr Grace Kia, Lecturer and founder of War Against Rabies foundation, Nigeria
Dr Lesley van Helden, State Veterinary Service, Western Cape, South Africa.
We would love to hear from you.
