Nevertheless, the lack of availability of rabies biologics in endemic countries has been a long-standing issue. The absence of data on the burden of rabies and the lack of education reaching the general public and health professionals on rabies prevention measures have also contributed to the neglected status of the disease and the large number of potentially preventable deaths worldwide.Political will is crucial for any sustainable disease prevention program. When there are many competing interests, gaining the attention of government will require accurate measurement of the disease burden, but because most endemic countries lack laboratory capacity as well as surveillance systems, their rabies burden has not been adequately quantified (Dodet et al., 2010, Knobel et al., 2005 and Lembo et al., 2010). Efforts to eliminate rabies must begin by building laboratory capacity and quantifying disease rate, to permit the design of appropriate interventions and measure their impacts (Banyard et al., 2013).
