Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Rabies causes over 59,000 human deaths each year, primarily in endemic regions where surveillance is challenging. We report a prospective observational cohort study evaluating rabies virus (RABV) RNA detection from wound swabs of individuals bitten by dogs as a tool to strengthen surveillance and assess human exposure. METHODS: We enrolled 100 individuals with unwashed, less than 24 hours-old,...
