Abstract

Background: Rabies is an important zoonotic disease, primarily of warm-blooded animals 
such as dogs, cats, jackals and wolves. 99% of death by rabies are caused by dog bites. Low 
socio-economic communities are affected mostly by this neglected tropical disease, which is 
100% fatal but at the same time, entirely preventable. Objectives of the study are to assess 
knowledge regarding the modes of transmission of rabies, immediate management of animal 
bites and importance of vaccination amongst study population.
