Abstract:
There were three rabies epidemic stages from 1950 to 2016 in China. This article describes the epidemiological characteristics, summarizes the experience and lessons of prevention and control of each stage. The prevalence of rabies in China was closely related to the social factors, the level of economic development, national policies and technology. Therefore, to eliminate rabies in humans in China, joint efforts including national policies and various norms of support are needed. Also, animal immunization and human disposal after exposure are important for the protection of human life and safety.
