In news- On the occasion of World Rabies Day, Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare Mansukh Mandaviya launched the National Action Plan for Dog Mediated Rabies Elimination by 2030 (NAPRE).

Key updates-

  • He urged all the States and Union Territories (UTs) to make Rabies a notifiable disease.
  • The “Joint Inter-Ministerial Declaration Support Statement” for Elimination of Dog mediated Rabies from India by 2030 through One Health Approach was also launched.
  • The Minister for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying suggested undertaking extensive IEC to make people aware of the difference between vaccine and medicine of Rabies.

About Rabies-

  • Rabies is a vaccine-preventable, zoonotic, viral disease. 
  • It is one of the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) that predominantly affects poor and vulnerable populations who live in remote rural locations. 
  • It is present on all continents, except Antarctica, with over 95% of human deaths occurring in the Asia and Africa regions. 
  • Initial symptoms of rabies include a fever with pain and unusual or unexplained tingling, pricking, or burning sensation (paraesthesia) at the wound site. 
  • As the virus spreads to the central nervous system, progressive and fatal inflammation of the brain and spinal cord develops.
  • Transmission can also occur if saliva of infected animals comes into direct contact with human mucosa or fresh skin wounds. 
  • It is spread to people and animals through bites or scratches, usually via saliva.
  • Once clinical symptoms appear, rabies is virtually 100% fatal. 
  • In up to 99% of cases, domestic dogs are responsible for rabies virus transmission to humans. 
  • Rabies can affect both domestic and wild animals. 
  • Interrupting transmission is feasible through vaccination of dogs and prevention of dog bites.
  • 40% of people bitten by suspect rabid animals are children under 15 years of age.
  • Immediate, thorough wound washing with soap and water after contact with a suspect rabid animal is crucial and can save lives.

WHO leads the collective “United Against Rabies” to drive progress towards “Zero human deaths from dog-mediated rabies by 2030”.
