Effect of Rabies Educational Program on School Children

Rabies is a deadly animal disease caused by bites of warm-blooded animals and wild animals including raccoons skunks bats and foxes or in dogs cats or farm animals. World Health Organization (WHO) ranks rabies as a 12th list of infectious and parasitic disease which causes death in humans (Ettinger Stephen Feldman and Edward 2018). People get it from the bite of an infected animal. Researchers estimate that 30000 to 70000 deaths are attributable to rabies each year roughly 40% of who are children. In developed countries domesticated animals have only been responsible for about 10% of cases of rabies transmission (WHO 2020).
