As global harm to animals and human life and safety of acute fatal zoonotic infectious diseases, in recent years, along with the people's quality of life as well as the safety awareness rising, rabies incidence of mortality rate has been declining, but due to the uneven mass prevention consciousness and its long incubation period, strong concealment, high fatality rate, etc. In particular, the understanding that wild animals such as bats can also transmit rabies is still very insufficient, and the relevant prevention and control work is still weak, which urgently needs the attention of the the whole society.

A few days ago, in the process of communicating with the representative of the popular science department of the Chinese Society of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, Zhou Jinfeng pointed out that the prevention of rabies is an interdisciplinary field, and its transmission and mutation process poses a threat to human life, health and safety. In addition to domestic pets, the prevention of rabies also includes immunization of wild animals and stray animals.

Under the background that the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FIO) jointly proposed the overall goal of eliminating rabies causing zero human deaths by 2030, multiple units joined hands to build a community, and actively cooperated with international Social linkage is of great significance for China to deliver a satisfactory answer sheet to the world before 2030.

Zhou Jinfeng emphasized that many zoonotic diseases, including rabies, will pose a threat to human health due to their transmissibility and variability, and have a significant impact on biosecurity. Doing a good job in their prevention and control often requires cross-play in multiple fields. It is not only of positive significance for the prevention and control of rabies virus, but also has important reference significance for the prevention and control of other circulating viruses.

Actively undertaking major economic and social development issues has always been the focus of CBCGDF. Including rabies prevention and control, the CBCGDF has carried out a series of work in the field of health and biosecurity with the health working group. Such as signing a memorandum with the Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC) to promote the rabies (zoozootic) epidemiological bulletin and related tools and technologies, GARC teaching materials, and in the Asian Rabies Control Conference (ARACON) and other related activities conferences Publicity and display of rabies prevention and control and other related activities in China.

Strengthening the prevention and control of zoonotic diseases, especially the transmission of the virus through wild animals, is conducive to the protection of biodiversity and the healthy development of human beings. To solve this problem, need a multidisciplinary, multi-sectoral coordination, CBCGDF is in the national society of China Association for Science and Technology group inside points in the new interdisciplinary group, is also a professional in the field of biodiversity conservation society, can be in the same concept of healthy, sustained, promote, including wildlife, source of animal-to-human disease prevention and control.
