Canine rabies in Thailand shows a decreasing trend, but positive cases remain around 40%. Young, unvaccinated dogs are most affected, highlighting the need for improved rabies vaccination strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Public Health
  • Zoonotic Disease Epidemiology
  • Infectious Disease Control

Background:

  • Canine rabies is a significant public health concern in Thailand.
  • The Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute (QSMI) is a key rabies diagnostic center.
  • Understanding rabies trends in dogs is crucial for disease prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze trends in canine rabies cases in central Thailand from 1994-1999.
  • To identify demographic and vaccination status of rabid dogs.
  • To inform public health strategies for rabies control.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of canine rabies cases.
  • Data collected from 1994 to 1999.
  • Analysis of diagnostic test results (Fluorescent antibody test - FA).

Main Results:

  • A decrease in the overall prevalence of rabid dogs was observed.
  • The percentage of positive Fluorescent antibody tests remained stable at approximately 40%.
  • 62% of rabid dogs were under one year old and largely unvaccinated (80%).

Conclusions:

  • Despite a decrease in submissions, rabies remains endemic in the dog population.
  • Young, unvaccinated dogs represent a high-risk group for rabies.
  • Enhanced vaccination programs targeting young dogs are essential for rabies control in Thailand.
