Initial Capture

An adult female Raccoon Procyon lotor was captured about 3 km north of Mallorytown, Ontario, on 27 August 2004, as part of a government rabies control program. The animal was vaccinated against rabies, ear-tagged and released, and recaptured the next day 1.7 km south of the initial capture location. Upon recapture, the Raccoon had porcupine quills in its facial area and seemed agitated and was submitted for rabies testing. It was confirmed as rabies positive on 31 August 2004, by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Similarly, a juvenile male raccoon was captured, ear-tagged, vaccinated, and released near Junetown, Ontario (about 4 km NW of the other rabid Raccoon) on 5 September 2004. It was found dying in a residential window well on 22 September 2004, 700 meters from the original capture location. It was diagnosed as rabid on 23 September 2004.

Knowledge Attitudes And Practices

The study assessed knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) pertinent to rabies among 1187 households from 68 barangays in Baybay City to provide baseline information on the levels of knowledge, attitudes and practices on rabies control, to determine the magnitude of effects of factors that are associated with increased KAP levels, and to determine the magnitude of effects these factors have on the community KAP scores. Demographic information was produced and KAP scores were evaluated by linear regression. Almost all (97.81%) of the respondents have heard about rabies but more than half (63.91%) still think that all dogs intrinsically have rabies. Only 47.63% of dog owners have dogs immunized against rabies within the past year. Livestock technicians, local government IEC campaigns, and family elders as information sources had the greatest influence on knowledge scores. Having knowledge on rabies, receiving rabies information from family elders, and having non-agricultural employment greatly influenced attitude scores. Obtaining rabies information from family elders, and residing in urban areas and along the major highway of the city have the greatest effect on practice scores. These results emphasized the importance of effective rabies-related information dissemination for a successful rabies control program implementation.

BACKGROUND Rabies remains a neglected disease and poorly controlled throughout the developing world, particularly Africa and Asia, where most human rabies deaths occur. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to describe the epidemiology of rabies, its trend, and its geographical distribution in Yemen METHODS Cumulative data from Rabies surveillance system for the period 2011 to 2017 was obtained from the National Rabies Control Program. The data included the number of persons bitten by a suspected animal, their gender and age, and the result of animal’s lab-test. Cases were defined as human victims bitten or injured by animals confirmed to be infected with rabies and received post exposure prophylaxis at any rabies control unit during 2011-2017 RESULTS During the period 2011-2017, a total of 76049 persons were bitten or injured by a suspected rabid animal. Of those, 21,927 (29%) were exposed to positively confirmed rabid animal and had PEP. Of all cases 68% were males and 32% were females. About 15% of cases were under five years, 41% aged 5-14 years, 28% aged 15-40 years, and 16% aged > 40 years. One third (36.8%) of reported cases were from Amanat Al Asimah followed by 32% from Ibb governorates, 12% from Dhamar, 8% from Al Hudaydah, 5% from Taizz, and 4% from Amran. The annual mean number of the cases exposed to positively confirmed rabid animal and had PEP was 3132. The annual incidence rate of exposure to positively confirmed rabid animal was 14 per 100,000 population. The annual mean number of deaths was 42 and the annual mean mortality rate was 2 per 1000,000 populations. CONCLUSIONS Rabies is still a worrying health problem in Yemen with a higher percentage among children and males. The annual incidence of exposure was 14 per 100,000 population. An electronic system should be introduced to improve reporting. It is important to have sufficient supply of vaccines and immunoglobulins in control units especially in the affected governorates. Education, communication and information campaigns about preventive measures targeting school-age populations are strongly recommended. Moreover, vaccination campaigns in the canine population to avoid animal-to-human transmission is necessary.

Rabies is geographically distributed in 8 provinces in Indonesia and its endemicity is quite   related to the educational level of the dog owners. The more  lower  of the population education.  it  seems  that the personal   hygienic  is worsen,  and their  dog immunization  coverage is  far less than 80% of dog population as recommended by World Health Organization, WHO. The objective  of study  is  to determine  the relationship between  the dog owner  family education  level   and their  behavior  toward rabies  control  program  activity.  This  study  is  designed  as Cross Sectional   method and sampled by multistage procession, where the houshold sample was taken randomly from the high and the low endemicity of rabies. The dog owner was interviewed based on the prepared written questionnaire. The result of the study showed that the majority of the respondent  population were low educational  level  where 73.0%   in  the cities   and 49.0%   in lhe villages  not  even passing the public school. Rabies transmission is known by 94.4% of the respondents  respectively  and 93.0% of them knew about  rabies prevention by vaccination coverage among  rabies transmitter animal was only 33.1 %.  Educational  level  is significantly   associated   with tha dog owners behavior  with  p<0.05,  (p:0.000). It is  hoping,   this  study regarding  the rabies  control  program  will pay a valuable contribution in term of the dog oqwner  knowledge   improvement  by public health education  which will   be given  by the public  health  educator.  Boar Hunter Clubs,  local  village   key persons,  or maybe by the religion leader.
