contents <p>Rabies remains one of the most lethal infectious diseases globally, with a case fatality rate <br>approaching 100% once clinical symptoms manifest. This review examines the current <br>epidemiological landscape of rabies, its impact on public health systems, and the multifaceted <br>approaches required for prevention and control. Despite being entirely preventable through <br>appropriate post-exposure prophylaxis, rabies continues to cause approximately 59,000 human <br>deaths annually, with the burden disproportionately affecting resource-limited countries. This <br>article synthesizes current evidence on rabies transmission dynamics, surveillance challenges, <br>vaccination strategies, and the economic implications of rabies prevention programs. We highlight <br>the critical role of One Health approaches in rabies elimination efforts and discuss emerging <br>challenges in rabies control, including vaccine accessibility, wildlife reservoir management, and <br>the impact of climate change on disease transmission patterns.</p>
