Rabies Surveillance Dr Suresh Gupta Consultant Pediatric Emergency Medicine Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi
WHO Recommended Surveillance Standards for Rabies
Rationale for Surveillance WHO promotes • Human rabies prevention though PET • Disease Elimination through vaccination of dogs and other animal reservoirs Surveillance is essential for • Detection of high risk areas • Detection of outbreaks quickly • Monitor use of vaccine
Recommended Case Definition Case Classification:(Based on Clinical Description & Laboratory Criteria) Human Rabies : -Suspected -Probable -Confirmed Human Exposure to rabies: -Possibly Exposed -Exposed
Recommended types of surveillance • Surveillance in human population: • Human exposure to rabies • Human rabies case • Outbreak investigations • Surveillance in animal population • Wild and Domestic species reservoirs
Rabies Indicators 1.Presence/absence of rabies2. Human rabiesa. Number of human deathsb. Human deaths according to animal species source of exposurec. People bitten by suspected dogs3. Animal rabiesa. Total number of dog casesb. Total number of other domestic animal casesc. Total number of wild animal casesd. Total number of bats cases4. National rabies vaccine production and importationa. Veterinary vaccine according to vaccine typesb. Human vaccine according to vaccine typesc. Human rabies immunoglobulin5. Rabies vaccine administrationa. Dogs vaccinationb. Human vaccine application - Post-exposure treatmentc. Number of patients treated according to vaccination regimend. Number of persons receiving treatment according to animal speciessource of exposure
Recommended minimum data elements • Human Rabies Exposure • Case based data • Aggregated data • Surveillance of Deaths from Human rabies
Recommended data analysis, presentation and reports • No of human rabies death and rabies cases in animal(by species),by date of presentation • Human exposure by location, date of animal biting/scratch episode animal species, outcome in human and animal populations • Cases by geographical area and dates of biting, type of animal, occupation and outcome
Principal uses of data for decision making • Detect outbreaks in endemic areas and new cases in rabies free area • Determine high risk areas for intervention • Rationalize the use of vaccine and immunoglobulins • Evaluation of intervention for animal reservoirs and exposed human population
Special Aspects Intersectoral cooperation of medical and veterinary services, community involvement and participation required for targeted response and control in animal reservoir.
Presence/Absence of rabies 2000 No information Absence Presence
Rabies trends in 2000 No information Rabies free Stable Decreasing Increasing
Geographical Distribution 2000 No information Rabies free Border area Limited area Most parts
Epidemiological pattern 2000 No information Rabies free Bat Dog Wild
Rabies situation and trend • Human Rabies 35-50,000/Year • Asia and Africa are the main • Animal Rabies • Africa 2344,USA 8509, Europe 5098, Asia ?? • General Trends • Europe reporting decrease in rabies cases • Animal rabies Dog 57%, Wild life 33%, Bat 10%
Rabies and Prevention • Human PET • Exposure to Dog- Africa 87%, Asia 97%, Europe 4% • Vaccine alone Africa 82%, Asia 88%, Europe 80% • Vaccine • Human Vaccine: 76% vaccine on cell culture • Animal Vaccine: 99% cell culture, • Vaccine application in Dogs • Compulsory in 13/25 African countries,3/10 American countries, 18/33 European countries, 3/10 Asian countries
