“…Similar findings (52.1%) were also found in a study done in rural community of Pune [ 4 ] and study conducted in rural areas of eastern India [ 8 ]. Though rabies control program was implemented in India, there was a dire need to create awareness and periodic surveillance among the community in rural parts of the country where dog bites are more prevalent [ 39 , 51 ]. Knowledge regarding anti rabies vaccine availability was found to be very less in this rural population.…”

The objective of the present study is to assess the knowledge about rabies among the general population of a rural area in Chengalpet district of Tamilnadu. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 361 participants belonging to Paranur village of Chengalpattu district. A pre-tested questionnaire was utilized to gather information on socio-demographic factors, knowledge about rabies, treatment-seeking behavior, and anti-rabies vaccine use among participants with history of dog bite. Among the 361 participants, only 49.5 % were aware of local wound-management procedures, despite the fact that 68% had sufficient knowledge about rabies. The present study highlights. significant association between knowledge regarding rabies with demographic variables such as gender, age, education and occupation Although more than half of the study population had adequate knowledge on rabies, one-fourth of them had no knowledge on first-aid treatments or vaccines at the time of dog bite. This study highlights the need to promote knowledge regarding wound care and post-exposure prophylaxis at the event of a dog bite.

Peace and security in urban centres remains key to their growth and development; however, slum areas remain dented with numerous aspects of insecurity. While a number of models have been sought, none has drawn a comparisons. This study compares two models of community policing in the quest to enhance peace and security among slum dwellers in Lira City. A qualitative approach was used with a case study research design and personal interviews were used to collect information from participants. While the study established that COP appear to yield more benefits than the traditional model, a combination of both can strengthen efforts to enhance peace and security seeing that majority of the dwellers. It is encouraged that continuous training be offered to key stakeholders so that community policing is treated as key issue of peace and security.

Rabies is a zoonotic disease that affects livestock worldwide. The distribution of rabies is highly correlated with the distribution of the vampire bat Desmodus rotundus, the main vector of the disease. In this study, climatic, topographic, livestock population, vampire distribution and urban and rural zones were used to estimate the risk for presentation of cases of rabies in Mexico by co- Kriging interpolation. The highest risk for the presentation of cases is in the endemic areas of the disease, i.e. the States of Yucatán, Chiapas, Campeche, Quintana Roo, Tabasco, Veracruz, San Luis Potosí, Nayarit and Baja California Sur. A transition zone for cases was identified across northern Mexico, involving the States of Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua, and Durango. The variables topography, vampire distribution, bovine population and rural zones are the most important to explain the risk of cases in livestock. This study provides robust estimates of risk and spread of rabies based on geostatistical methods. The information presented should be useful for authorities responsible of public and animal health when they plan and establish strategies preventing the spread of rabies into rabies-free regions of México.
