Attention!!

The rabies data is provided by each country and then processed into a database based on administrative units with certain regional codes, not as single geo-referenced objects. Therefore the resulting maps display each case as a randomly pinpointed dot within the reported administrative unit (NUTS). Depending on the size of the country and the respective administrative units, discrepancies in the location of the actual rabies cases and those displayed may occur.

Please also note that whenever regional codes or administrative units change, great effort is needed to make data queries possible. For instance, when extending the database retrograde, certain countries, that seized to exist, need to be included. Essential information, such as adequate shape-files of these countries or regions are not available thus making it impossible to display the rabies cases with this tool. For such queries it is advisable to use the original maps or data from the hard copy RBE instead.
