Abstract

In addition to protecting the health of people and animals in the country, risk assessments for rabies play an important role in preventing the spread of the disease. In this field, European countries have the most successful experience.

As part of the country-wide rabies risk assessment, the characteristics of the disease and its causative agent, as well as potential threats, were taken into account. Globally as well as in Azerbaijan, rabies is one of the most dangerous diseases. State-controlled diseases include rabies, which holds one of the top places on the list. As a result, in the case of human infection, if vaccination is not performed quickly, it will result in death, as well as in the case of animal infection, death occurs.
