“…Injuries that can be caused by dog bite range from lesions that are restricted to superficial tissues [10] , with or without loss of substance, to facial and cranial bone fractures [3] , [6] , [9] , [13] . In some cases, these injuries may lead to amputations, including severe vascular and nerve or bony destruction [10] .…”

“…With respect to pediatric patients, the craniofacial region is the most affected [3] , [8] , [15] , [16] , [17] , and the frontal region and cheeks are the most affected areas, followed by lips and nose [6] . Smaller children are especially vulnerable to injuries in the craniofacial region due their low stature, propensity to crawl/play on the ground and exploratory behavior [3] .…”

“…The administration of antibiotics is often associated with local treatment of lesions caused by dog bites, and this choice is based on the probability of possible infections caused by microorganisms present in the oral cavity of these animals [6] . The antibiotics of choice after bites on the face and scalp are amoxicillin with clavulanic acid or cephalexin (1 st generation cephalosporin).…”

“…The most affected body region varies according to the age group of the victim, so that while adult victims are most affected in the body, children are most affected in the head region [3] , [5] , [6] . Other authors point out that the regions most affected by dog bites are hands, followed by lower extremities, upper extremities, face and buttocks [7] .…”

“…Free-roaming dogs are associated with the transmission of a number of zoonotic pathogens [17][18][19][20][21], dog bite injuries [22][23][24], and road traffic accidents [2,25]. Dogs are responsible for transmitting over 300 zoonoses to humans [26,27].…”

Simple Summary: Domestic dogs are abundant worldwide-as owned pets, unowned strays, and feral animals. High numbers of free-roaming dogs can be a concern because of the risks they pose to public health, animal welfare, and wildlife. Using a systematic review process, we investigated what the research published to date can tell us about the effectiveness of different dog population management methods. We found that management methods for dog populations have been researched in multiple countries worldwide, using a wide range of indicators to assess method effectiveness. We outline the results and suggest improvements to help guide future dog population management policy. Abstract:The worldwide population of domestic dogs is estimated at approximately 700 million, with around 75% classified as "free-roaming". Where free-roaming dogs exist in high densities, there are significant implications for public health, animal welfare, and wildlife. Approaches to manage dog populations include culling, fertility control, and sheltering. Understanding the effectiveness of each of these interventions is important in guiding future dog population management. We present the results of a systematic review of published studies investigating dog population management, to assess: (1) where and when studies were carried out;(2) what population management methods were used; and (3) what was the effect of the method. We evaluated the reporting quality of the published studies for strength of evidence assessment. The systematic review resulted in a corpus of 39 papers from 15 countries, reporting a wide disparity of approaches and measures of effect. We synthesised the management methods and reported effects. Fertility control was most investigated and had the greatest reported effect on dog population size. Reporting quality was low for power calculations (11%), sample size calculations (11%), and the use of control populations (17%). We provide recommendations for future studies to use common metrics and improve reporting quality, study design, and modelling approaches in order to allow better assessment of the true impact of dog population management.

Objectives: To assess the scientific literature pertaining the risk factors for injuries among victims of animal bite injuries. Data and sources: A systematic review of scientific literature published until May 2020 was carried out in the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar and Journals@ovid. Study selection: A total of 924 records were found, of which 29 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. There was a male preponderance in most of the studies with male/female ratio ranging from 0.75:1 to 2.1:1. The age range varies from 0 to 19 years with the mean age varying from 3.6 to 8 years. Pitbulls, Rottweiler's, German shepherds, Bull terriers, Labradors and Dobermans were breeds with higher risk of attack. The animals were familiar to the victim (own, friends, neighbors) in 27–98% instances. Most cases of animal bite injuries were recorded during Summer and Spring months. Head and neck followed by extremities was found to be most inflicted area. Conclusions: The sociodemographic characteristics of victim as well as the biting animal affect the circumstances leading to biting episode. However, the results should be interpreted with caution due to the high heterogeneity among studies and moderate quality evidence.
