Epidemiologic Trends of Rabies in Domestic Animals in Southern Thailand, 1994–2008

Abstract: Abstract. Rabies and associated risk factors in dogs, cats and cattle (n = 3,454) in southern Thailand during 1994Thailand during -2008 were evaluated by using a mixed-effect logistic regression model. Overall prevalence was 48%. In dogs, odds of being rabid were 1.7 times higher in unvaccinated dogs than in vaccinated dogs and two times higher in dogs with bite history than in dogs with no known bite history. Similarly, aggressive dogs were more likely to be rabid than non-aggressive dogs. In cattle, aggress… Show more

“…Statistical analysis for this parameter revealed no significant difference (P > 0.05) that could be attributed to the occurrence of rabies with regards to breed and sex (Table 1) and hence breed and sex were not significant risk factors for dog rabies which is in aggrement with the findings of the study by Widdowson et al (2002), Thiptara et al (2011) and Karshima et al (2013).…”

“…Statistical analysis of our data revealed no significant difference (P > 0.05) in the occurrence of rabies with regards to age (Table 1) however, Thiptara et al (2011) in Southern Thailand and from Plateau State, Nigeria, Karshima et al (2013) in contrast found that age separatelly had a significant contribution to the occurrence of rabies.…”

“…Si bien las actividades humanas vienen causando cambios severos en la ecología de Madre de Dios y existe invasión humana de áreas naturales que son nichos ecológicos de las "chosnas", consideramos que el principal motivo de los ataques es el desarrollo de un cuadro clínico de rabia, caracterizado por agresividad, desorientación, cambios del comportamiento e hiperactividad. Según el reporte de los agredidos, no se pudo determinar la presencia de otros síntomas sugestivos de rabia como parálisis faríngea, parálisis corporal, anorexia o depresión, los cuales serían difíciles de documentar por la rareza del contacto del humano con este mamífero (15) .…”

“…La organización social de la "chosna" puede ser flexible y depende de su tamaño corporal y la presencia de predadores, lo cual pueden hacerlos más sociables con el objetivo de minimizar el riesgo de predación (11) . Sin embargo, en los casos reportados, el comportamiento del "chosna" no fue normal desde el punto de vista biológico y social, por el contrario, se trataría de especímenes que presentaron agresividad, hiperactividad y cambios del comportamiento normal, dichas manifestaciones son frecuentes en cuadros clínicos de rabia en perros, gatos y ganado (15) .Ninguno de los afectados reportó antecedentes de contacto alrededor de su hogar o en su comunidad con especímenes de "chosna", lo cual es compatible con los hábitos nocturnos exclusivos del animal. En todos los casos, el primer contacto fue con la ocurrencia del ataque.…”
