As we discussed mashups this week, I thought of the Global Alliance for Rabies Control website that is updated annually for World Rabies Day. It's interesting to me to look back at resources that I have previously utilized and see them in a new light; in this case I am realizing just how flexible and beneficial this site is, in part due to how much of a mashup it is! This resource provides such a great variety of educational tools for individuals, practices, and instructors that I typically have veterinary technology students and clubs review the information and share their favorite findings with other classes. Below is one of my favorite videos to catch the interest of students; it is disturbing and intriguing but certainly gets them talking about the topic! Please be warned, it is graphic, depicting the normal progression of rabies in a human patient.
Another very interesting site for rabies education is the CDC's official rabies webpage:
