WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION (MB) MB introduced the first meeting of the Beltane Network Advisory Group by outlining both the Network’s origins and its process of transition from Edinburgh Beltane Beacon for Public Engagement to Beltane Public Engagement Network. It was noted that all of the universities that were partners in the Edinburgh Beltane (the University of Edinburgh; Heriot-Watt University; Edinburgh Napier University; Queen Margaret University; the University of the Highlands and Islands [UHI]) are currently supporting the Beltane Network, with the exception of UHI, and that the goal of this second phase of the Beltane project is to further embed public engagement in the culture of the Beltane partner universities. 2. REVIEW OF PAST WORK AND TRANSITION (HJR) HJR presented an overview of the Beltane’s work so far and of its transition from a beacon to a network during 2012.

  • Developing a Stepwise Approach for Rabies Prevention and Control
    18 ISSN 1810-0732 FAO ANIMAL PRODUCTION AND HEALTH More than 50 000 people die from rabies worldwide every year. Most of the victims live in developing countries in Africa and Asia, and are exposed to the rabies virus through dog bites. Every case of rabies prevented is a life saved, so there is an urgent need to implement rabies prevention diligently and globally. In November 2012, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC) convened 21 experts in canine rabies surveillance and prevention at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy, to develop a new tool to aid health programme planners and managers. Participants included rabies experts from two rabies-endemic countries (Kenya and China), academic institutions, GARC, the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and FAO. Building on successes and lessons learned in the use of the FAO-developed progressive control pathway for Foot-and-Mouth disease, the workshop participants developed the first model for a stepwise approach to rabies prevention and control. The approach comprises six stages, ranging from Stage 0, where no information on proceedings rabies is available in a suspected rabies-endemic area, to Stage 5, where valid and timely epidemiological surveillance data confirm the elimination of rabies in humans and canines. The stepwise approach is intended for adoption and adaptation by national rabies control and elimination programmes as a tool for managing rabies surveillance, control and prevention.
