What is the REB?

The Rabies Epidemiological Bulletin (REB) is a free-to-use, One Health rabies surveillance system that has been built by GARC for use by national governments. By using the REB, countries can ensure that relevant rabies data is easily collected, aggregated, and automatically analyzed.

The REB has been specifically designed for those countries that do not have the capacity or resources to develop, build, and implement their own dedicated rabies surveillance systems. In support of this, GARC provides human and technological resources to develop a customized system for each country with the REB.

The REB is currently being used extensively by national governments throughout all the rabies-specific regional networks – PARACONARACON and MERACON
