Original title: rabies-endemic countries, China Hong Kong media: 80% pet dogs are not vaccinated
Hong Kong media said that in many countries, vaccination and strict pet immigration requirements, rabies is under control. According to the data of the World Health Organization, China, India and developing countries this is not the case in many areas, every ten minutes, a man died of rabies. Most of the victims were children.
According to Asia Times online, October 15, an American living in Shanghai one day suddenly started to hiccup, and couldn't stop. It's getting worse, so he went to see a doctor. Within a few weeks, he was dead. For him and his family and the doctors did not realize that burping is a neural response to rabies in human body.
This tragedy is not because he is a barking mad bites, but from a family a few months ago from a pet store to buy a dog. Puppies look very healthy, has ever bitten anyone, but it had licked his face, saliva-borne viruses. Lucky is that the family of mothers and children had been vaccinated, and the father did not.
Peng Weifen, founder of new world international animal hospital in Beijing said: "you should not be afraid to go to China and other rabies-endemic countries. But if you leave, you should be vaccinated. ”
Said Peng Weifen, hired the American company now has developed a global policy requiring all employees who move to rabies-endemic countries living must be vaccinated first. She said such policies are too rare.
Peng Weifen said she received a call from expatriates and locals consulting of rabies, but many foreigners are not aware of the risk of rabies here is relatively high.
She said: "most of them come from good control of rabies countries such as the United States, and eliminating rabies in countries such as the United Kingdom. The education they have received rabies, or don't see themselves in a rabies-endemic countries. ”
Also a misconception is that rabid dog aggressive, mandibular drooling, yellowing of the eyes. In fact, a dog may have to play with people and spread of rabies virus.
Peng Weifen said: "I have never seen a dog not licking the face. Puppies are like this. When they lick your face, eyes, lips, nostrils, these germs into your body's channels. ”
According to who data, 99% to humans is rabies spread by dogs. In the Americas, the bats are the source of most of the rabies infection.
Who said that about 60,000 people die each year from rabies, most of them in Asia and Africa. India accounted for more than one-third deaths, about 2000 people die of rabies each year in China. Most experts, including the World Health Organization believes that due to underreporting and negligence, the actual death toll is much higher.
Canine population in China has increased dramatically, because the dog became a symbol of the middle class. According to who figures, the Chinese Government 80 million dogs have been registered, which has 14 million in urban areas. But the actual number is thought to be much higher, because many owners are unwilling to give pet registration.
Worrying is that these dogs are not vaccinated against rabies. Peng Weifen said, in China, only 10% to 20% dogs were vaccinated. In rural areas, less than 3%. This is far below the lowest effective vaccination coverage of 70%. This is needed for the barrier to prevent the spread of rabies to humans.
Peng Weifen say lower vaccination rates in China reflects the people know little about the understanding of rabies. But it is also because dog owners through veterinary purchasing vaccine; only officially designated animal clinic can legally provide vaccines.
More and more dogs plus the restrictions imposed by the Government for people and animal vaccines created a huge black market.
United States, Massachusetts, said IFAW vet consultant Kadi·laifule, rabies is primarily a marginalized and easy to get diseases, because it populations in terms of statistics, health and education are often overlooked.
Loeffler said that dogs not vaccinated, often because the Government does not invest in rabies prevention programs, and few children and parents often know the importance of first aid after bite.

中国成狂犬病流行国 百分之八十宠物狗未接种疫苗|狂犬病|狂犬疫苗|宠物_新闻资讯
原标题：中国成狂犬病流行国 港媒：八成宠物狗未接种疫苗
港媒称，在许多国家，通过接种疫苗和执行严格的宠物出入境规定，狂犬病已得到控制。根据世界卫生组织的数据，中国、印度和发展中国家的许多地区的情况并非如此，每十分钟就会有一人死于狂犬病。大多数受害者是儿童。
据香港亚洲时报在线网站10月15日报道，生活在上海的一个美国人某天突然开始打嗝，怎么也停不了。情况越来越糟，于是他去看医生。几个星期内，他死了。他及他的家人和医生都没有意识到：打嗝是人体对狂犬病产生的一种神经反应。
这场悲剧并不是因为他被一只咆哮的疯狗咬伤，而是源于家人几个月前从宠物商店买的一只小狗。小狗看上去很健康，也没有咬过任何人，但它曾舔了男子的脸，通过唾液传播病毒。幸运的是，家中的母亲和孩子都曾接种过疫苗，而父亲则没有。
北京新天地国际动物医院的创始人彭蔚芬说：“你不应该害怕去中国和其他狂犬病流行国家。但如果你启程，你应该先接种疫苗。”
彭蔚芬说，雇用那名美国人的上海公司现在制定了一项全球性政策，规定所有搬到狂犬病流行国家居住的员工必须首先接种疫苗。她说，这种政策太少见了。
彭蔚芬说，她经常接到外籍人士和本地人咨询狂犬病的电话，但许多外国人都没有意识到在这里感染狂犬病的风险相对较高。
她说：“他们中的大多数人来自狂犬病得到很好控制的国家如美国，还有消除狂犬病的国家如英国。他们没有接受过狂犬病的教育，或者不明白自己身处狂犬病流行国家。”
还有一种误解就是认为患有狂犬病的犬攻击性强，下颌流口水，眼睛发黄。事实上，一只与人嬉戏的小狗可能就患有狂犬病并传播病毒。
彭蔚芬说：“我从来没有见过一只不舔人脸的小狗。小狗就是这样的。当它们舔你的脸、嘴唇、鼻孔、眼睛，这些就成了病菌进入你身体的通道。”
根据世卫组织的数据，99%传播给人类的狂犬病都是经犬传播的。在美洲，蝙蝠是大多数狂犬病感染的来源。
据世卫组织称，每年约有6万人死于狂犬病，其中大多数在亚洲和非洲。印度占三分之一以上的死亡病例，中国每年约有2000人死于狂犬病。大多数专家包括世卫组织认为，由于少报和疏忽，实际的死亡人数要高得多。
中国的犬种群数量近年来急剧增加，因为养狗成了中产阶级的象征。根据世卫组织的数据，中国政府已经注册了8000万只犬，其中城市地区有1400万只。但实际的数字被认为要高得多，因为许多主人不愿给宠物注册。
令人担忧的是，这些犬只几乎都没有接种狂犬病疫苗。彭蔚芬说，在中国，只有10%到20%的犬接种了疫苗。在农村，比例低于3%。这远低于70%的最低有效疫苗接种覆盖率。这是阻止狂犬病向人类传播的屏障所需要的。
彭蔚芬说，中国疫苗接种率较低反映了人们对狂犬病的了解知之甚少。但这也是因为犬主人不能通过正规兽医购买疫苗；只有官方指定的动物诊所可以合法提供疫苗。
越来越多的犬再加上政府的限制给人用和动物用疫苗制造了一个巨大的黑市。
美国马萨诸塞州的国际爱护动物基金会兽医顾问卡蒂·莱夫勒说，狂犬病主要是一种边缘化人群易得的疾病，因为这一人群在统计、医疗和教育方面经常被忽视。
莱夫勒说，犬没有接种疫苗，常常是因为政府没有投资到狂犬病预防计划，而儿童和父母往往很少知道咬伤后进行急救的重要性。
