Abstract

The easy transmission of rabies virus among domestic and street dogs and cats, in which it causes pathogenic dissemination even to humans is a major public health problem in Brazil. The Brazilian epidemiology carried out through the prophylaxis of rabies vaccination campaigns has enabled the significant change in the pictures of infected animals notified to the Ministries of Health, Livestock Agriculture and Supply. Although notified, the pictures need to be investigated and potentially correlated with the human pictures also infected and failures of annual vaccination supplies. In this descriptive analysis, it was observed that as a priority the Northeast region led with the highest number of cases of rabies virus in the 3 years analyzed (2017-2018-2019). Thus, it is observed that even with positive national coverage, confirmed cases were still obtained, except for an ideal regulation and maintenance of cases where no confirmed cases were obtained. It is concluded that zoonotic diseases are gradually decreasing as their prophylaxis maintains its linear.
