What have we achieved since Kiev? Looking forward.

Abstract

There have been many changes and accomplishments in rabies control and prevention since the first International conference "Rabies in Europe" was held in Kiev on June 15-18, 2005. Recommendations from the 2005 meeting addressed epidemiology; rabies diagnosis; animal rabies control; human rabies prevention; vaccinology and immunology and bat rabies. This paper will adhere to the same topics of interest in order to review the accomplishments that have been achieved since Kiev.
