Abstract

Bovine rabies is a global animal and public health concern. There remains
a poor understanding of the true disease burden and economic impact.
In low-income developing countries that rely primarily on livestock,
the losses are substantial. Because of the total dependence on cattle
rearing for the rural economy in the Indian subcontinent countries, it is
becoming a matter of concern. Considering the overwhelming effects
of livestock rabies, especially bovine rabies in the Indian subcontinent
region, this article collates information regarding various aspects of the
issue and highlights the importance of developing targeted bespoke
intervention strategies.
