Rabies is a major zoonosis of great impact on both economic and public health and veterinary medicine. Rabies in herbivores is distributed in almost all Latin American countries and its control constitutes a major challenge for Livestock Defense. This study aims to make an epidemiological analysis of Rabies in herbivores in rural areas of most municipalities included in the Office of Agriculture and Livestock Defense Araçatuba (EDA). To this end, an epidemiological questionnaire was elaborated and applied to obtain information related to rabies in herbivores. The following variables were analyzed: presence, frequency and period of occurrence of bat bites marks on the animals, the presence and types of shelters for bats; recent occurrence of death of... |

Bats are less vulnerable to forest fragmentation than any other mammal, and for that reason, some species can disperse to peri-urban or urban areas. Insectivore bats are abundant in urban areas due to the density of artificial roosts and insects attracted by city lights. Inter-species transmission of the rabies virus between bats can occur, and this is the most probable mechanism of virus circulation in bat populations. Bats can also transmit the rabies virus to other mammal species, like dogs and cats. With the halt of vaccination campaigns of dogs and cats in 2010, the importance of rabies surveillance in bats has increased in Brazil. In Campinas, Sao Paulo State, a passive surveillance system for bats was implemented in 1994 and rabies-positive bats... |
