Preliminary survey on knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding rabies JT Muthunuwan 1, AGKH Ganhewa 1, HDSG Perera 1, M Hishaam 1, WMMS Bandara 1, HAKM Gunasekera 2 Sri Lankan Journal of Infectious Diseases 2017 Vol.7 (1):38-46 DOI: http://doi.org/http://doi.org/10.4038/sljid.v7i1.8133 Abstract Introduction: The Ministry of Health’s goal is to reduce the number of human deaths from rabies to zero by 2020.
