Скачать или смотреть How Genomic Surveillance Can End Rabies in Africa by 2030 | Dr. Gurdeep Jaswant Explains

Rabies silently kills thousands of children in Africa every year, despite being 100% preventable. With the global target of zero human deaths by 2030, time is running out. Dr. Gurdeep Jaswant, a PhD Fellow at the University of Nairobi, explains how genomic surveillance is a game-changer in the fight against rabies. By sequencing the rabies virus, scientists can track its spread, identify hotspots, and target vaccination campaigns more effectively. This affordable and accessible technology has already shown success in Kenya and Tanzania, proving that local labs can lead the way. But science alone isn’t enough—we need investment and political will. Learn how genomic surveillance can save lives, reduce costs, and help Africa eliminate rabies once and for all.
