Introduction
In almost all human and animal cases, once clinical symptoms or signs appear, the outcome is death. The costs associated with eradication or control can be high and for this reason countries which are free of rabies go to great lengths to maintain their disease-free status; many European countries which have the sylvatic form of the disease invest large sums in eradication campaigns. Key elements in the control of rabies are recognition of the virus and the disease which it causes, its epidemiology and how infection may be prevented.
