WHO IS RITA?
RITA is the nick name of The Rabies in the Americas meeting. RITA is an annual event that has been held since 1990. It has been hosted in many countries across Americas. For many years, RITA has grown in popularity and prominence with delegates now coming from more than 20 countries across five continents.
The meeting provides an opportunity for researchers, health professionals, international, national and local managers of rabies programs, wildlife biologists, laboratory personnel and other people interested in advancing knowledge of rabies surveillance, prevention and control, to meet each other, to share their successes and also to discuss the challenges to be met.
RITA features short presentations and posters, allowing more participants to present the results of their work. All topics concerning rabies are welcome, including basic and applied research, diagnostics, communications, control methods, and human treatment as examples. Scientists, but also regulators, public health professionals, veterinarians, doctors, biologists, wildlife and laboratory technicians, students and all who have experiences to share are all welcome at RITA.
