Evolution of Rabies in South America and Inter-Species Dynamics (2009–2018)

Abstract: Rabies is listed as one of the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Neglected Tropical Diseases Worldwide, with a significant impact in South America. This paper explores the dynamics of rabies cases in humans, pets (dogs and cats), livestock and wildlife (bats in particular) in South America during the period 2009–2018. The data used in this study were derived from the two main databases for rabies in South America: the OIE-WAHIS from the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and PANAFTOSA’s Regional Inform… Show more

“…Vilibic-Cavlek et al, provided a detailed review of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), a neglected rodent-borne zoonotic virus with worldwide distribution, which although rare, is associated with significant burden of disease, mortality and long-term sequelae especially in newborns, transplant patients and pregnant women [ 6 ]. Aula et al, extensively reviewed schistosomiasis in Africa [ 7 ], the evolution of rabies in South America during 2009–2018 was analyzed by compiling data from different sources by Meske et al [ 8 ], whereas Ioannou et al, described 12 patients with Yersinia endocarditis in a systematic review of the literature [ 9 ]. Hepatitis C (HCV) remains a significant issue in Eastern Libya according to the study by Ismail et al, where among 612 individuals who tested positive for HCV antibodies in Tobruk Medical Center from 2005 to 2020, no follow-up RNA test was detected and no links to outpatient care and treatment were found [ 10 ].…”

“…Several vaccination programs against animal rabies are carried out in the countries of South America and the Caribbean, and with that the contamination rates have reduced drastically. Between 2013 and 2016, the cases registered in health regulatory bodies in Bolivia, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Peru and Venezuela still have an important role in the attention to the movement of this virus in America (Meske et al, 2021). With the development of the Action Plan on the elimination of RABV in urban and peri-urban environments, eyes were turned to the main transmitter, the bat (Desmodus rotundus) in the American continent with a rate of 68% of animal-human transmission.…”

“…Rabies also has precipitous impacts to livestock, domesticated pets, and wildlife as well (Meske et al, 2021). Bats are a key reservoir of rabies virus in the Americas (Meske et al, 2021). The common vampire bat ( Desmodus rotundus ), a sanguivorous species in the Phyllostomidae family, is considered to be the main species responsible for transmitting rabies to other species in Latin America (Meske et al, 2021).…”
