GERMANY

Berlin, Germany (International event)

One health approach in Rabies control – an important lesson for African veterinary master students
Duration: 6/16/2010, 8:00am to 6/16/2010, 4:00pm

Berlin (Germany): Recently, a "joint Master's Program in Transboundary Animal Disease Management" (MTADM) project was initiated to build human resource capacity by training an effective pool of professionals in cross-border animal disease control, management and by strengthening the regional network of veterinary faculties. The course is organized by Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia and the Freie University Berlin with strong input and later endorsement by other partner universities in Uganda and Sudan. It is an ACP-EU Cooperation program in Higher Education, i.e. a joint program of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) with the financial assistance of the European Union and scholarship provision by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MoARD). Part of the curriculum is held at Freie University Berlin with seminars given also by guest lecturers including staff from the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute and the WHO Collaborating Center for Rabies surveillance and research. Within the schedule, a whole day was devoted to rabies and rabies control focusing on the "one health" approach. The participants vividly explained their experience with rabies in their African home countries Ethiopia, Sudan, Kenya and Uganda. Besides current knowledge in the global perspective of rabies and lyssa viruses, the veterinarians were introduced to modern concepts of dog rabies control using a beta version of the blueprint (www.rabiesblueprint.com) and other resources from the ARC and WRD webpage. A veterinarian from Ethiopia said: "I had not known about the diverse structure of dog populations and its influence on rabies control. I had assumed most dogs wandering around in the villages or cities were simply stray animals." He added that such control efforts using mass vaccination are difficult to perform in some areas of Africa with only limited veterinary authorities. Rabies control is still mostly based on killing dogs sometimes with strychnine. "The fact, that in some countries these veterinary services will be privatized is not going to be beneficial for animal disease control in Africa in the future", he assumed. On the other hand new diagnostic tests for rabies like a lateral flow test were regarded an important opportunity to improve surveillance efforts, focus PEP where needed and to provide objective numbers of rabies in animals and humans for decision makers, eventually to break the "circle of neglect". At the end of the day, there was a passionate believe among the students that rabies is a dreadful zoonosis that needs to be controlled.
