RabNet” version 2 and the new WHO rabies web site are now online

Overview

Since 1959, WHO has collected data on human and animal rabies from its Member States, using a questionnaire to produce the World Rabies Survey (WRS) annually or biennially. In the late 1990s, a web-based electronic version of the questionnaire, accessible through RabNet, was added to the paper questionnaire sent by mail. During the past two years, rabies data collection and processing online have improved. WHO is therefore pleased to announce the release of “RabNet2” at http://www.who.int/rabnet.
