“…Burkina Faso, a low‐income country located in West Africa, is known to be rabies endemic during recent decades (Dodet et al., 2009; Kabore, 2014; Kouldiati, 1989; Nitcheman, 1983; Savadogo, 2015; Savadogo et Boushan, 2015; Savadogo et al., 2020; Sondo et al., 2015; Sondo et al., 2018). Many deaths and exposures to rabid animals occurs regularly in the country (Ouermi et al., 2018; Savadogo et al., 2016, 2017, 2020; Savadogo et Boushan, 2015; Sondo et al., 2018). In Burkina Faso, laboratory diagnosis of animal rabies is made by testing, through fluorescent antibody test (FAT), brain samples from suspect dogs, ruminants, equine, pigs, primates, cats and wild animals including bats.…”
