Community knowledge, attitude, and practice, incidence of suspected cases, and epidemiological distribution of rabies in humans and animals in Southwest Shewa zone, Oromia, Ethiopia
The level of knowledge, positive attitude, and good practice toward rabies was found to be inadequate. Therefore, awareness creation programs and effective and well-organized prevention and control measures should be employed, with a special focus on identified risk factors, to reduce disease burdens through a One Health (OH) approach.
