KEY POINTS
Final objective of control measures: prevention and elimination of the disease in Humans.
Mass vaccination of dogs is the most successful method for control and possibly elimination of dog mediated rabies (WHO, 2005).
The theoretical level of vaccination coverage should be at least 70% (WHO, 2005) to lead to an average 0 incidence in both humans and animals.
Given the high turnover of many dog populations, all dogs should be vaccinated, puppies (<3 months) included (Cliquet et al, 2001).

MAIN PREREQUISITES FOR DOG RABIES CONTROL PROGRAMMES:
AN INTEGRATED APPROACH1. National network gathering one body of each involved sector – Identification of one body responsible of the programme.
2. Legal basis and long time budget allocation
3. Strategy of control – planning
4. Ensuring coordination between all actors: Precise identification of each step of the programme: who is responsible of what and when.
5. Dog demography information (both owned and stray) and dog ecology
6. Ensuring availability of biological products
7. Education of the public (in bite prevention & rabies awareness) – Strong media support
8. Trained diagnostic laboratory
9. Active surveillance network
10.Evaluation of control programme

Vaccination against rabies with injectable vaccines induces a humoral response with the production of rabies neutralising antibodies.
In cats and dogs, the peak of rabies neutralising antibodies is generally reached between 4 to 6 weeks after first antigenic stimulation.

ORAL VACCINATION OF DOGSCOMBINED TO PARENTERAL VACCINATION
The major obstacle in rabies control is the accessibility to vaccination of inaccessible owned and ownerless dogs
Since 1988, WHO has elaborated several guidelines and recommendations (last ones in 2009) for encouraging the launching of studies on oral vaccination in combination with parenteral vaccination
Trials undertaken in East Europe, Asia and Africa using commercial vaccine baits intended for wildlife immunization

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE
Rabies surveillance is the basis for any control and prevention programmeSurveillance based on laboratory investigation on brain of dead or sick animals (not on killed at random dogs)No sample size – Animals must be sampled from all parts of the country and all along the yearRoutine reference diagnostic test (WHO, 1996; OIE, 2011):
Antigen detection (FAT): gold standard test
Virus isolation RTCIT / MIT if cell cultures are not available
Viral genome detection
Virus typing: Mabs or molecular methods

EVALUATION OF CONTROL PROGRAMME
Ultimate indicator of the success of vaccination programme: decrease in rabies incidence in vaccinated areas both in humans and animals
Animal bite injury from hospitals
The strategy must be rapidly changed or adapted in case rabies incidence remains unchanged despite vaccination. The main reason is generally an insufficient vaccination coverage.
It is therefore advised, if budgets are limited, to analyse the entire programme for improvement and possibly to decrease the surface of the area of vaccination

CONCLUSION
To be sustainable, rabies control programmes based on vaccination of dogs should be integrated in a multiannual project of rabies elimination.Mass dog vaccination programs using injectable vaccines are successful for rabies control in different places (e.g. Latin America, Bohol, Bali, KwaZulu Natal, Sri Lanka).Priority of government for rabies control is the main prerequisite associated with long term funding insurance.Oral vaccination trials should be undertaken in those areas where rabies control using injectable vaccines is a success to increase the vaccination coverage.Importance of GARC, PRP and Rabies Elimination Demonstration projects.
