“…None of these factors were associated with rabies seroprevalence in Ben Tre, Can Tho and the MD. Results of this study are highly consistent with previous reports in other endemic countries such as Bolivia (Suzuki et al 2008), Nigeria (Kolawole et al 2018) and India (Nale et al 2021).…”

Rabies in dogs continues to be a serious public health threat in many regions worldwide. Viet Nam is one of endemic countries of the disease and many fatal cases in dogs and human have been frequently reported over years. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence and factors associated with the seroprevalence of captured dogs in slaughterhouses in Can Tho and Ben Tre provinces, the two epidemiologically representative locations of rabies in the Mekong delta (MD), Viet Nam. During 2020-2021, a total of 470 canine serum samples were collected from slaughterhouses in six districts for each of Ben Tre and Can Tho provinces and these collected sera were tested for detection of anti-rabies antibodies using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Seroprevalence of rabies virus in Ben Tre was 5.94% (17 positive samples out of 286 collected samples) which was lower than the seroprevalence in Can Tho at 14.13% (26/184), respectively. Similarly, the mean value of antibody titer against rabies virus of captured dogs in Ben Tre (1.19±0.45IU/mL) was lower than that of in Can Tho (5.98±4.84IU/mL). Effects of several demographic factors such as breed, region and sex were not found for canine rabies seroprevalence. This study provides important information about seroprevalence of rabies for dogs in the MD and highlights necessity for vaccination program and surveillance for control and prevention of rabies in the area.

“…Anjing bertanggung jawab terhadap 94% kasus rabies pada manusia oleh karena itu, pencegahan kasus rabies pada manusia sangat tergantung pada pengendalian rabies pada anjing (Suzuki et al, 2008;Yousaf et al, 2012). Dengan adanya program penyuluhan, vaksinasi, serta eliminasi hewan pembawa rabies (anjing), jumlah kasus gigitan anjing rabies atau anjing diduga rabies pada tahun 2011 mengalami penurunan dibanding tahun 2010 (Batan et al, 2014).…”

Rabies adalah penyakit zoonosis yang bersifat mematikan. Penyakit ini menyerang sistem saraf pusat atau encephalitis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persentase dan hubungan antara faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi sistem pemeliharaan dan tingkat pemahaman masyarakat terhadap penyakit rabies di Kabupaten Bangli, Bali. Jumlah responden yang diambil sebanyak 140, tersebar di 14 desa yang belum pernah dilaporkan terjadi kasus rabies. Data hasil wawancara berdasarkan kuisioner dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif kuantitatif dan dendrogram. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem pemeliharaan anjing yang baik di Kabupaten Bangli berhubungan dengan kondisi pemeliharaan anjing (100%); kesadaran memberikan pakan (100%); jumlah pemberian pakan yang lebih dari satu kali (91,4%); status vaksinasi rabies (83,6%); tidak memelihara hewan penular rabies (HPR) selain anjing (kucing) (75,7%); status pemeriksaan kesehatan (67,1%); dan jumlah anjing yang dipelihara tidak lebih dari satu ekor (55,7%). Sistem pemeliharaan anjing yang buruk berhubungan dengan jenis pakan yang diberikan (100%); berkontak dengan anjing lainnya (80%); dan sistem pemeliharaan anjing dengan cara dilepas (73,6%). Tingkat pemahaman masyarakat Kabupaten Bangli yang baik berhubungan dengan mobilitas anjing (88,6%); pemahaman mengenai bahaya rabies (79,3%); asal anjing (79,3%); pengetahuan mengenai ciri-ciri rabies (74,3%); dan status desa bebas rabies yang masih dipertahankan (78,6%). Tingkat pemahaman masyarakat yang buruk berhubungan dengan belum adanya aturan desa maupun aturan adat yang berkaitan dengan penyakit rabies (100%); kurangnya pastisipasi masyarakat dalam program penyuluhan (62,1%); dan cara memperoleh anjing (52,1%). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa sistem pemeliharaan anjing dan tingkat pemahaman masyarakat mengenai penyakit rabies di Kabupaten Bangli tergolong baik. Kata-kata Kunci: rabies; sistem pemeliharaan; tingkat pemahaman masyarakat; Kabupaten Bangli

“…Several methods could be used to assess the seroconversion in vaccinated animals, such as the Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) or the seroneutralization methods, e.g., the Fluorescent Antibody Virus Neutralizing test (FAVNt) [14] and the Rapid Fluorescent Focus Inhibition Test (RFFIT) [15]. As a faster and easier method to implement, ELISA is preferred for vaccination follow-up in countries having disease elimination programs such as the mass parenteral vaccination of dogs and the oral vaccination of wildlife [16][17][18][19][20].…”

Rabies is a deadly viral disease present mainly in low-income countries of Africa and Asia. Dogs are the main reservoir and the source of human deaths. Mass vaccination campaigns of dogs are pivotal to achieve rabies elimination. The monitoring of the immune response of the dog population is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of these campaigns, taking into account field conditions. This study explores the feasibility and the performance of a new tool using filter papers (FPs) to collect blood samples associated with an Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) titration of rabies antibodies in dogs. A total of 216 eluates from FP samples were collected from 111 dogs kept in experimental facilities in France and 29 dogs from the field in Tunisia. Sera were also analyzed using both the Fluorescence Antibody Virus Neutralization test (FAVNt) and ELISA. A high specificity (98.0%) was obtained by testing FP blood eluates from 51 unvaccinated dogs, with the results compared with those of FAVNt and ELISA on serum samples. The coefficients of concordance between FP eluates and tested sera were 88.9% for FAVNt and 88.0% for ELISA. Blood filter papers coupled with the titration of rabies antibodies by ELISA provide a reliable, simple, and effective solution to overcome the issues of the logistics and transport of samples, especially in low-income countries.
