: The study was approved by the Medical Research Coordinating Committee of the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR/HQ/R.8a/vol.IX/2788), the Ministry of Regional Administration and Local Government (AB.81/288/01), and Ifakara Health Institute Institutional Review Board (IHI/IRB/No: 22–2014) in Tanzania; and the University of Nairobi Institute of Tropical and Infectious Diseases (P947/11/2019) and the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI-SERU protocol No. 3268) in Kenya. Carers of family members were consulted to request permission for post-mortem sample collection and to describe diagnostic and investigative procedures. Following confirmation of results from investigations the families of these patients and their communities were visited to discuss the meaning of the investigation results and how findings can be used to advocate for improved rabies prevention and control, documenting discussions for sharing with practitioners and policymakers.
