摘要: To assess the epidemiological features of wildlife rabies in Zimbabwe, a retrospective study covering period 12 years (1992-2003) was conducted using records Central Veterinary Laboratories (CVL), Department Technical Services at Harare. Records monthly and annual were perused with regard to total samples submitted CVL corresponding positive cases. Positive cases analyzed relation animal species involved, seasonal trends, land-use categories. A 2107 1 540 (73.1%) positive. Jackals (Canis mesomelas C. adustus), peak occurrence between January March major maintenance host, representing approximately 91% confirmed. The Canidae family recorded highest number followed by Viverridae, Mustelidae, Felidae, Herpestidae Hyaenidae families that order. During present confirmed 7 additional wild animals. majority (83.7%) commercial farming areas northeast parts country.
