Infographic - Dog mediated human rabies in the Americas

The results achieved in the past 36 years support the statement that human rabies from canine origin (variants 1 and 2) can be eliminated in the American Continent by 2022. 

The region of the Americas shows a favorable situation in relation to the global situation due to the fact that countries develop their elimination programs efficiently and maintain an adequate dog vaccination coverage to avoid the reintroduction of human rabies.
