Human rabies transmitted by dogs: Current status of global data, 2015
Excerpt below; full text is at http://www.who.int/wer/2016/wer9102.pdf?ua=1
Confidence in the data increases and the situation becomes clearer when diverse sources show consistent data, and there are examples in every region. At least one source of reported data was identified for all but 6 of the 90 countries. However, in general the data are incomplete and frequently contradictory. Slight variation can be expected, as data may variably originate from 2010 to 2014 within countries depend on the time last reported to each individual source. However, for countries where zero or few cases are officially reported but where there is evidence from hospitals, laboratories and clinicians of several hundreds or thousands of cases, the large discrepancies indicate a more serious disconnect between reported data and the actual incidence of the disease.
Improved surveillance for rabies is needed both for collection of reliable data in order to plan appropriate control measures and for more accurate demand forecasting for rabies vaccine.
