Shanghai in China is using digital chips to prevent the spread of rabies in dogs.

China's financial hub, Shanghai, is implanting 65,000 dogs to fight the spread of rabies.

Xinhua news agency made the announcement on Wednesday.

"The chips contain the dog's individual ID number – to access information about the dog – photo, species, sex, colour, inoculation time, owner's address – you simply input the ID number into a device," Xinhua said.

2,254 rabies cases were recorded in China in the first nine months of the year. This is a 30 percent increase over the same period last year.

"Implanting dogs with ID chips is supposed to help curb the spread of rabies, but time and funding are needed before the system can be rolled out nationwide," Xinhua said.
