| Official reporting of rabies in Nigeria started in 1912. The National Veterinary Research Institute (NVRI), Vom, within the last 77 years, confirmed 4809 cases of animal rabies in Nigeria. Rabies control through immunization programs has crashed woefully and consequently, the rabies situation has become chaotic and confounding. Locally, only 2,137,615 doses of dog anti-rabies vaccines were produced between 1956 and 2005 (average 43,625 per year) by NVRI, Vom. Dog population in Nigeria is currently estimated at 8 million. In the last 20 years of research and follow ups on rabies and associated problems, only 10% of the dogs’ population received anti-rabies immunization. Within the immunized dogs, rabies outbreaks occurred frequently. Evidences on the trend... |

| Among the currently recognized species in the Lyssavirus genus worldwide, all but one (Mokola virus) has been identified in bats. Recent discovery of emerging pathogens of zoonotic importance in bats raises concerns about health risks of populations that directly or indirectly come in contact with these diverse mammals. Idanre, an ancient city situated in Southwest Nigeria, conducts a unique bat festival twice annually, where the populations have traditional practices that involve capturing and consuming bats. These activities bring them into direct contact with bats that are important not only because of potential exposure to lyssaviruses, but also to other emerging pathogens. A knowledge, attitude and practices survey was developed and administered to... |
