1. Introduction Rabies, a fatal viral disease transmitted to humans mainly by domestic dogs, is a neglected zoonosis that primarily affects underserved populations that have limited access to healthcare. Every year, rabies is estimated to kill 59,000 people globally, mostly children 15 years and below in Africa and Asia [1,2], despite the development of effective vaccines against rabies in humans, and in dogs [3].
