Students: Ryan Aguanno, Gillian Park, Matthew Allen, Amanda Breuer This summer VWB/VSF supported four students from the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) to travel to Phnom Penh, Cambodia to participate in a four week dog ecology and rabies study. Every year rabies kills more than 55 000 people around the world, primarily through contact with feral dogs. The team worked closely with the community to gain a better understanding of the local canine populations and their role in Cambodian culture. These initial studies will provide information on the types of education and awareness programs needed to prevent and control this disease |
