Most people consider rabies to be a disease of importance solely in the developing world, but it is in fact ubiquitous and remains a perpetual threat even in developed countries. In India alone 30,000 people die from the disease each year, half of them children. Once symptoms (hydrophobia aerophobia or paralysis) have developed death is inevitable. On this film we see graphic cases of rabies and talk to experts from India and the United States about the signs and symptoms, its primary and secondary prevention, different immunisation regimes (especially intradermal), and the dog management programme in India. 2003
