Rabies exposure incidence

In this video Jakob Zinsstag uses the example of dog rabies to explain why a communication between a human health centre and a veterinary diagnostic centre is a clear case of One Health.

In order to find out if a person died of rabies it is necessary to do a brain biopsy. Since this is often not possible, veterinarians have to find different ways to measure the incidence of the illness. A possible solution is a closer cooperation between the human health centres and the veterinary diagnostic centres to enable calculation of how many persons are infected.
