Abstract:
Rabies is endemic on every continent except Antarctica and
is also considered to be a significant health problem in Africa,
including South Africa.
With the upcoming FIFA Soccer World Cup to be held in 2010
in cities throughout South Africa, this review depicts the rabies
situation in South Africa and discusses what travelers visiting
the games should know about rabies and rabies prophylaxis
before or after an exposure to a potential rabid animal occurs.
