title: Public health investigation in a military cAMP after diagnosis of rabies in a dog-Afghanistan, 2012.
abstract: Rabies is one of the risks to which travelers are exposed when going abroad. During the summer of 2012, a rabid dog died in an International Military Transit Camp in Afghanistan, leading to a public health investigation briefly reported here. The lessons learned from this episode are that such investigations are complex and that information for travelers needs to be improved.
