Rabies Prevention and Management of Cats in the Context of Trap–Neuter–Vaccinate–Release Programmes

Abstract: Summary Domestic cats are an important part of many Americans’ lives, but effective control of the 60–100 million feral cats living throughout the country remains problematic. Although Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) programs are growing in popularity as alternatives to euthanizing feral cats, their ability to adequately address disease threats and population growth within managed cat colonies is dubious. Rabies transmission via feral cats is a particular concern as demonstrated by the significant proporti… Show more

“…), although in one 2011 case a child's exposure to a rabid cat was possible but not confirmed (Roebling et al. ). These findings indicate that public health professionals and the public are highly aware of the potential risk of rabies from domestic animals, the need to submit cat rabies suspects for testing, and the need to seek PEP if exposure to cats of absent or unknown rabies vaccination status is confirmed or suspected.…”

“…Recent estimates indicate that 16% of national postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) administration is attributable to cat exposures (Christian et al 2009), and this may be higher in regions where raccoon rabies is enzootic. From February 2003 to July 2018, not one of 42 human rabies cases among people living in the United States and Puerto Rico was determined to be caused by exposure to a cat (Ma et al 2018a), although in one 2011 case a child's exposure to a rabid cat was possible but not confirmed (Roebling et al 2014). These findings indicate that public health professionals and the public are highly aware of the potential risk of rabies from domestic animals, the need to submit cat rabies suspects for testing, and the need to seek PEP if exposure to cats of absent or unknown rabies vaccination status is confirmed or suspected.…”

“…Igualmente, os gatos em condições com livre acesso a essas áreas naturais também podem causar impacto sobre a vida silvestre, por meio da disseminação e transmissão de doenças como é o caso da raiva e de outras enfermidades (Levy et al, 2003b;Nutter et al, 2004;Hess et al, 2007;Roebling et al, 2014). E ainda atuar como potenciais competidores com outros carnívoros locais (Fitzwater, 1994;Lepczyk et al, 2003;Biró et al, 2005;Campos et al 2007;Ferreira, 2016).…”

“…Sendo assim, sua prática indica que pode reduzir potenciais casos de disseminação de doenças, tanto entre os animais domésticos, como também para as espécies silvestres (Levy et al, 2003a;2003b;Zawistowski et al, 1998), já que muitas destas estão relacionadas principalmente às interações agonísticas, ligadas à defesa territorial (Hess et al, 2007). Entretanto, conforme destacado por Roebling et al (2014) a castração não deve ser a única estratégia adotada para erradicar ou controlar doenças e potenciais zoonoses. A guarda responsável de animais domésticos, a vacinação antirrábica e a remoção de animais errantes, promovendo a habituação destes ao convívio doméstico e posterior adoção, ou contensão em abrigos responsáveis pela guarda destes animais, são componentes fundamentais para controlar tanto a raiva, como também outras doenças (Roebling et al, 2014).…”
