ResumoO objetivo do presente trabalho foi determinar a frequência de quirópteros positivos para o vírus rábico no estado do Maranhão, utilizando dados da Agência de Defesa Agropecuária do Estado, coletados no período de 2006 a 2010. Durante esse período, foram examinados 73 laudos laboratoriais de quirópteros encaminhados para o diagnóstico da raiva. Dos quirópteros analisados, 17,8% (13/73) foram positivos nas técnicas de imunofluorescência e biológica. Houve diferença estatística significativa (P< 0.05) na proporção de morcegos positivos entre os anos 2006, 2007, 2088, 2009 e 2010. Os resultados laboratoriais encontrados no estudo indicam a necessidade da realização de monitoramento sistemático, além da implantação de medidas de controle e profilaxia para a enfermidade.Palavras-chave: raiva, morcegos, frequência, diagnóstico laboratorial, Maranhão. AbstractThe objective of this study was to determine the frequency chiropterans positives for the rabies virus in the state of Maranhão, using data from the Agency of Agricultural Defense, collected in the period 2006 to 2010. During this period, 193 samples from chiropterans were examined. Of chiropterans analyzed, 17.8% (13/73) were positive in immunofluorescence and biological. There was a statistically significant difference (P <0.05) in the proportion of positive bats between the years 2006, 2007, 2088, 2009 and 2010. Laboratory results found in this study indicate the need to carry out systematic monitoring, besides the implementation of control measures and prophylaxis for the disease.
ResumoO objetivo do trabalho foi determinar a frequência relativa de herbívoros positivos para a raiva no estado do Maranhão, utilizando dados da Agência AbstractThe objective of this study was to determine the relative frequency of herbivores positive for rabies in the state of Maranhão, using data from the Defense Agency of the State Agricultural, collected in the period 2006 to 2010. During this period, 193 samples from herbivores were examined. Of the samples, 35.77% (69/193) were positive for the rabies virus. There was a statistically significant difference (P <0.05) in the proportion of herbivores by positive evaluation period. The results indicate that during this period, the rabies in the state of Maranhão showed relatively high frequency. These findings highlight the need to carry out systematic diagnosis and monitoring of herds, besides the implementation of control measures and prophylaxis and vaccinations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
