The disease is almost 100% fatal after clinical signs appear, and it kills tens of thousands of people per year worldwide, particularly in Africa and many parts of Asia. Although the disease in humans can be prevented by timely post-exposure prophylaxis, its access and affordability is limited in rabies endemic countries. With 99% of infections in humans caused by rabid domestic dog bites, controlling the infection in this reservoir population has been proven to be most effective to reduce and eliminate human rabies cases. In this context, this Research Topic invited contributions on the control and elimination of dog mediated human rabies. Publications on epidemiological, educational, policy-related and economic aspects of dog and human rabies surveillance, implementation of control in dogs and humans and scientific documentation of success stories were consolidated. We hope that these articles contribute to reaching the ambitious goal, set by key players in global health, of the elimination of dog mediated human rabies by 2030. 606 $aMedicine and Nursing$2bicssc 610 $acanine 610 $acost-effectiveness 610 $adog 610 $aelimination 610 $aglobal health 610 $aneglected tropical disease 610 $aone health 610 $arabies 610 $avaccination 610 $azoonosis 615 7$aMedicine and Nursing 700 $aSalome Durr$4auth$02007042 702 $aLea Knopf$4auth 702 $aAnna Sophie Fahrion$4auth 702 $aLouise Taylor$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911114776703321 996 $aTowards Elimination of Dog Mediated Human Rabies$94793600 997 $aUNINA
