Third rabies epidemic peak is my form of human infection with the shortest incubation period of a week

(); ■ Precautions to prepare for the dogs start ■ vaccination is dog bite back to rinse for at least 15 minutes

"Since 1996, human rabies epidemic gradually quick rebound, has for many years ranked Chinese infectious disease mortality and mortality numbers, again become a serious danger to public health of major epidemics. Third rabies epidemic peak is the formation of China! "yesterday, the Chinese Centre for disease prevention and control of communicable diseases by Zhang Chun-Professor to be held in Shanghai 's" tropical diseases and Parasitology International Symposium on the "submit papers, disclose this information.

According to Zhang Chun-introduction to dog breeding is very popular all over the country, but the number of the country there are no exact dog breeding credible statistics, an estimated 80 million to 2 billion. Rabies epidemic in China is very serious, has become the most important public health issue.

Rabies epidemic gradually rebound

Mr Ambrose vibration that rabies epidemic to the Yangtze River, is southern high north low posture. From rabies epidemic scale, national report on the number of counties and districts also shows an upward trend. Only in 2003, national report onset County district number 190, which first reported rabies County is $ 30. Since 1996, a fast rebound rabies every year, the third rabies epidemic peak is formed in our country.

Experts emphasized that the in-depth, detailed and extensive epidemiology, diagnosis, etiology of genetic diversity in ecology, viruses and vaccines for research, will be the future of China's rabies prevention work in jeopardy of important research content.

Rabies research relative lag

As a result of our work has not been systematically rabies in epidemiology and etiology of, even though our country is one of the worst affected by rabies risk countries, host range, but the etiology of rabies rarely, rabies virus isolated from limited, except for type 1 diabetes, also did not find other six genotype or similar rabies virus. Study of relative lag, result in the presence of a disease epidemic, "no way".

Summer and autumn is a season high

Mr Ambrose vibration that rabies may occur throughout the year, but recently, the National Centre for disease prevention and control of rabies monthly on our analysis of cases, although the results found that the disease may occur throughout the year, but in the year, with a high incidence of rabies in rendering obvious seasonal peaks, summer and autumn of number of rabies outbreak was higher than that of other seasons.

Analysis also found that the male-female onset 1-2.5 times, young people and children more than adult onset.

Human infection with the virus incubation period of minimum one week

Human infection with the rabies virus of the incubation period is usually 1 to 3 months, but it can be as short as a week, or up to several years. Bitten by an animal parts, the extent of the wounds, as well as the amount of infected wounds and other factors affecting the length of the incubation period.

Shanghai Municipal Center for disease control and prevention's Yu Hu on in 1989 to 2000 took place in Shanghai in 19 cases of rabies cases analysis found that bites the head and face the average incubation period of 5 cases for 41 days, bite your finger the average incubation period of 12 cases 59.42 days, bite foot 2 cases of average incubation period is 187 days.
