Rabies surveillance is dependent upon the effective reporting of human and animal rabies cases (clinical data) and submission and laboratory testing of samples (from humans, dogs and other affected species).
The collection of animal-bite injury data, which should be notifiable as described here, should also be included and is an important means of indirectly measuring incidence.
Evaluation of PEP usage can be useful towards demonstrating the disease burden.
