DESCRIPTION:Rabies remain a public health threat in Ghana\, with implicati
 ons extending beyond human health to livestock production\, livelihoods\, 
 and economic security. Although dogs are the primary reservoirs\, transmis
 sion to livestock poses challenges for disease surveillance\, diagnosis\, 
 and control. This lecture presents epidemiological\, clinical\, and molecu
 lar findings from recent rabies investigations involving goats\, pigs\, an
 d cattle. These include a goat farm outbreak and suspected cat involvement
 \, molecular evidence of dog-to-bull transmission\, and the first document
 ed case of dog-associated pig rabies\, resulting in human exposure during 
 carcass processing. These cases highlight the complexity of cross-species 
 transmission\, gaps in community awareness\, and vulnerabilities in zoonot
 ic disease surveillance. The lecture looks into the role of One Health sur
 veillance\, intersectoral collaboration\, targeted vaccination\, and commu
 nity engagement in strengthening disease prevention and control.
