在1993至2002年间，美洲地区的人类和犬类狂犬病病例数量下降了约80%。2002年有39例人感染病例，其中63%是通过狗传播的。此外，由野生动物(主要是蝙蝠)传播的人类狂犬病对该地区许多国家的居民来说是一种风险。本研究的目的是根据泛美卫生组织管理的美洲区域狂犬病监测系统(SIRVERA)从美洲地区国家获得的信息来描述这种流行病情况。这一大幅减少主要归因于该区域各国实施的控制措施，如大规模为狗接种疫苗和对接触者进行预防性治疗。(C)2005 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Between 1993 and 2002, the number of human and canine rabies cases in the Americas Region fell by approximately 80%. There were 39 human cases in 2002, 63% of them transmitted by dogs. Furthermore, human rabies transmitted by wildlife, mostly by bats is a risk to inhabitants in many countries in the Region.The objective of this study is to describe this epidemiological situation based in the information received from the countries of the Americas Region in Regional Rabies Surveillance System in the Americas (SIRVERA) administrated by the Pan American Health Organization. This sharp reduction is attributable mainly to the control measures implemented by the countries of the Region, such as the mass vaccination of dogs and prophylactic treatment for people who have been exposed.
