In order to spread awareness and limit the damage caused by rabies, animal rescue groups across Phnom Penh are vaccinating animals against the deadly virus for World Rabies Day.
Cambodia has one of the highest death rates caused by rabies in the world, with around 800 people reported to have died from it this year, more people than malaria and dengue combined.
The major cause of the virus spreading is dog bites, with the Cambodian definition, chkae chkuot or “mad dog” reflecting this.
