The Subcommittee on Rabies is a newly formed body (2017), reporting under the new Committee on One Health. Previously it has been part of the Committee on Public Health and Rabies, which is archived below for reference of the work related to rabies.
The purpose of the Rabies Subcommittee of the USAHA One Health Committee is to promote activities that support prevention and lead to the ultimate elimination of rabies in animal and human populations. Toward that end, the Rabies Subcommittee encourages: rabies research, surveillance, and intervention in animal and human populations; data sharing between the animal and human health communities; and coordination among agriculture, wildlife and public health agencies in the detection, identification, prevention, control and elimination of rabies. The Rabies Subcommittee is a strong advocate for prevention efforts and so has consistently supported Oral Rabies Vaccination Programs, which are key to ongoing advances in controlling wildlife rabies. The Rabies Subcommittee serves as a liaison with USAHA to livestock producers and handlers, private and public veterinarians, wildlife groups and their organizations and agencies.
