Resumo

Rabies is an illness caused by a neurotropic virus of the family Rhabdoviridae of the genus Lyssavirus. All mammals, including man, are susceptible. Between 1976 and 2001 it was analyzed in Centro de Diagnósticos e Pesquisas Veterinárias (CDPV) by the Fluorescent Antibody Test (FAT) and Mouse Inoculation Test, 24.722 samples of central nervous system of different animal species, coming from Goiás State municipalities. Positive reactions for rabies were detected in 22.1% (5.471) of the samples. There were oscillations in the positivity rate until 1996 and after this, it was observed a gradual decrease reaching 10.9% in 2001. Cases of rabies in dogs and cats have been decreasing drastically. It was registrated 25 dogs and 2 cats in 2001. In bovines, equines and bats the number of cases have been increasing, noting that from 2000 to 2001 there has been a growth of 16.4% in the number of cases for bovines, reaching 67.5% of positive samples (249/369) in 2001. Control measures like obligatory vaccination of cattle, horses, sheep and goats and the control of the bats population were recently adopted in Goiás State.
