Declarations
:
: A rabies outbreak is considered a public health emergency. A single case prompts public health interventions. This investigation was conducted as part of an outbreak response to a public health emergency and did not require approval from an institutional ethics review committee; however, permission was obtained from national and county government authorities responsible for human and animal health. Pseudonymization of sensitive data was applied and the codes used in place of personal identifiers were stored by the investigator in a secured location. Collection and sharing of detailed information that could lead to identification, especially regarding specific locations or exact dates were limited. Verbal consent was obtained from all study participants aged ≥ 18 years. None of the identified household heads were below 18 years old.
