- •
We undertook 6-months prospective surveillance of dog bites in 1779 persons in four rural Cambodian villages.
- •
We found the overall incidence of dog bites to be the highest published, at nearly 5 bites per 100 person-years.
- •
Some were repeat bite victims, and extremely few had referred for post-exposure management.
- •
All of the biting dogs were owner dogs.
- •
Adapted control policies for prevention education, canine population control and vaccination are urgently needed.
