Abstract: This paper analyzes which of the possible public health models could contribute to an understanding of human rabies outbreaks transmitted by bats. First, we present a short review of the most common pertinent models. Second, we present an investigation of a human rabies outbreak transmitted by bats based on the socio-epidemiological model. The same outbreak is analyzed again using the complex system theory as a theoretical framework, as both a theoretical-practical exercise seeking an approximation to this the… Show more

“…Utilizando un enfoque sociohistórico para el estudio del brote, la investigadora hace un recorrido por la historia brasileña, desde la implantación del monocultivo de caña para exportación y sus repercusiones sobre los pobladores y la ecología de la región. La autora concluye que la pérdida del sistema de morada, que permitía al trabajador tener tierra y criar animales, acarreó la desaparición de animales domésticos, lo que obligó a los murciélagos a alimentarse de sangre humana, situación que se agravó por la falta de tratamiento profiláctico disponible y por el desconocimiento de la enfermedad (23).…”

“…In some areas of Latin America, increased deforestation and the corresponding reduction of wildlife populations may trigger an increase in vampire bat predation on cattle and increase risks of rabies outbreaks [20, 3033]. Intensification of cattle production also increases the availability of prey for vampire bats and allows bat populations to increase and disperse [27, 34].…”

“…In northern Brazil, mining or logging activities in the forest increased contact between humans and vampire bats leading to increased risk for human rabies [20, 30, 32, 36]. In some cropland areas, livestock were removed from residential yards so that humans became the most accessible prey for vampire bats [20, 30]. The increase in rabies in Uruguay has contrasting mechanisms as forest coverage has increased through commercial afforestation and agricultural expansion has led to substitution of natural grasslands.…”

“…Do ponto de vista epidemiológico, os focos endêmicos de raiva são mantidos, em diferentes partes do mundo, às expensas de ciclos do vírus: o ciclo urbano onde o cão é o principal reservatório e o ciclo silvestre onde os animais silvestres perpetuam o vírus na natureza. Em algumas áreas geográficas há predominância de um dos ciclos, em outras um ciclo pode manter-se estável ou dinâmico (Khan et ai., 1986;Krebs et ai., 1994;Schneider, 1995 , 1982;Bõgel & Motschwiller, 1986;Debbie, 1988;Warrell & Warrell, 1988;Germano, 1994;Schneider, 1995;Schneider et ai. , 1996).…”
