“…The involvement of a multidisciplinary team is essential to control the prevalence of this pathology. In general, the importance of health education is noted, as it contributes significantly to the training of professionals, especially undergraduate students, who, even as students, are already exposed to experiences that would normally only be experienced in professional practice [21].…”

Rabies, caused by the Lyssavirus genus, is a highly lethal zoonotic disease transmitted by animals such as bats and domestic and wild carnivores to humans, claiming nearly 100% of lives. In Brazil, recent evidence suggests an increasing role of bats in human deaths from rabies, particularly in the Amazon region. This neglected tropical disease disproportionately affects impoverished and vulnerable populations in rural areas, where approximately 80% of human cases are concentrated. This article presents research conducted in riverine communities of the Tapajós/Arapiuns Extractive Reserve in Brazil to combat rabies in September 2022. The study adopted a participatory and collaborative approach, involving community members, healthcare professionals, and educators. Prioritizing proactive interventions, the health team administered prophylactic vaccinations to 30 individuals residing in communities exposed to the Lyssavirus. Educational activities focused on dispelling myths and raising awareness about preventive measures, with 100% of individuals reporting prior doubts about the disease, emphasizing the essential nature of the clarification, especially regarding preventive aspects. This study underscores the importance of community involvement, personalized interventions, and ongoing education to effectively combat rabies. By reinforcing public health policies and promoting health education, we can empower communities to take proactive measures in rabies prevention, leading to a reduction in incidence and an improvement in quality of life.

“…Nos Estados Unidos, há o licenciamento da vacinação antirrábica para animais silvestres (Nieves et al, 1996). Assim, ações voltadas para educação em saúde são estratégias eficazes no controle e prevenção da raiva nos seres humanos e nos animais, já que se compartilha informações epidemiológicas importantes que parte da população ainda desconhecem, contribuindo para que a comunidade tenha autocuidado em relação a esta patologia (Merlo et al, 2021).…”

A raiva é uma doença infectocontagiosa ocasionada pelo vírus Lyssavirus, sendo esta zoonose uma problemática para a saúde única, por afetar mamíferos aéreos e terrestre, sendo considerada uma doença negligenciada e de distribuição mundial. Os programas nacionais vigentes, visam o controle da patologia, por meio da imunização de animais domésticos, e para humanos, preconiza-se o protocolo de pré e pós- exposição. Assim, este trabalho tem por objetivo detalhar os aspectos epidemiológicos da raiva através de um estudo descritivo, enfatizando a sua etiologia, epidemiologia, transmissão, sinais clínicos, diagnóstico, tratamento, o controle e a profilaxia da doença.

Many pathogens can co-infect humans and animals. The present study aims to analyze the frequency of reported cases of zoonoses in humans and confirmed cases of canine distemper in the municipality of Presidente Figueiredo through the extraction of information from the Information System of Notifiable Diseases of the Ministry of Health (SINAN) and the epidemiological investigation reports of outbreaks produced by the health surveillance room of the Zoonosis Control Center of the Municipality of Presidente Figueiredo-AM in the period 2017-2020. In the state of Amazonas, in the analyzed period, there were reported cases of Rabies, Visceral Leishmaniasis, Tegumentary Leishmaniasis, Leptospirosis, Spotted Fever, Hantavirus, and Acute Chagas Disease. In the municipality of Presidente Figueiredo, only the zoonoses of Tegumentary Leishmaniasis and Leptospirosis were reported, and an outbreak of distemper occurred in 2020, which affected 17 animals and exposed another 10 animals susceptible to infection. During the outbreak of disease with neurological signs in dogs in the municipality, the epidemiological surveillance technicians promoted an epidemiological investigation, clinical and laboratory analysis of the affected animals and concluded based on the data and results that it was an outbreak of Distemper. Therefore, there is an occurrence of the distemper virus in dogs in the municipality of Presidente Figueiredo, and although neurological cases in dogs have not been detected as resulting from infection by the rabies virus, the constant surveillance and investigation work is highlighted as essential to ensure the one health in the municipality, in view of the differential diagnosis of rabies.
