The rage, perhaps the dwells dangerous and feared zoonótica disease, is stops most of the veterinarians of the country an to other people's notion, not even to memory. But there plows some colleagues who live daily threatened by this badly. And they plows not in lejanísimos you please, but in our own country: in which it goes of to year were AT least six confirmed you marry of canine rage in Jujuy.
The phenomenon is not new. In 2005 there were 17 you marry, in 2004 they were 72, and in 2003, the worse to year, 131. In addition, in It jumps were registered dwells than 15 you marry between 2004 and 2005, with the difference that, by to diver problems, all were not documented.
The information on the bud in Jujuy arrived thanks to U.S. to the contact with doctor Omar Farfán, president of the School of Veterinarians of the Province and correspondent of the Veterinary Cronista in the zone. Of the you marry of this to year, three occurred in the locality of Comedero Stop, one in center of San Salvador, another one in Gorriti Stop and the last one in Chijra. In the Quiaca, for example, almost all the suspected animals to be infected gave positive. This there are an explanation: the proximity with Bolivia, where the rage is not controlled and the deaths of humans plows very frequent. In fact, the last to year the Argentine Government sent to the neighboring country 40.000 vaccines to him to try to closest protect the sector to to border with Jujuy and Salta.
But the statistics do not reach to show all the problematic one. There is to human component that is the one that worries dwells: the enormous exhibition to the risk which they undergo the veterinarians in the zone, and the difficulties that they have to fight the disease.
To clear example could give the own Dr it Farfán: ?I received to dog in my doctor's office with an to order to remove to plate to him from jaw, before the suspicion of to fractures. We slept the animal and we took the RX him. When to owner was going away we asked to him if the animal were vaccinated against rage, and it said to U.S. that it had donates it three weeks before. The plate did not show fractures, but the animal followed with problems in the jaw. To pair of days to later to owner returned with the dog, that walked well but it followed with to little open jaw and the obnubilada glance. I communicated with the colleague who always took care of the dog and I said to him that they seemed to me rage signs. My colleague agreed, but we could not do nothing else because that same night the animal died. The worse thing is than to remove the plate to him it had put the hand in the mouth of the dog to run the language to him. And above my woman had ace much bad luck that was punctured with the syringe which we had used to sleep the patient. Imaginate how we were?? And how they were to later: by precaution, Farfán and its woman had to be vaccinated: ?They were 12 doses, one to per day, by Officers' Club of Revolutionary Armed Forces pain in the zone of application?, counted the doctor.
The succession of you marry forced to make to meeting in last June, with specialists of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Tucumán and Salta. According to Farfán, to infectólogo doctor ended up confessing who does not exist to parameter of defined work, is vaccination protocol and not does not even there am is known well what to do in marries of to wound by mordedura. ?I investigated and I found out that all the veterinarians must be vaccinated against rage, according to recommends the WHO?, commented Farfán. In addition, that meeting to medical one affirmed that the colleagues had to cut the heads of the animals died in their clinics to send them to confirm the diagnosis. ?Nor crazy I a.m. going it to do in my operating room. There is much ignorance between the colleagues, and people refuse to collaborate?, assured the president the local School. Until The ignorance is under that there was to medical one that left by TV affirming that the rage is not to mortal disease?
The situation in Jumps, although there were you do not marry in which it goes of to year, it does not seem to be very different. Doctors Maria Cecilia Vieta and Gustavo Dada plows veterinary, plows married and work in a clinic of the district Santa Ana, of the capital, where they took care of three you marry of canine rage. ?The first marries in Jumps appeared to year to after the bud jujeño. Peculiar The thing is that it arose right in to center from the City. It diagnosed the Dr Alberto Palma, who sent samples to the Antirabic premises. The diagnosis that returned to him was clears doubtful, apparently the samples were entreveraron with those of to horse??, counted. Another colleague salteño, Marcelo Alonso, commented: ?All the information were telephone, not in writing. It is that the samples plows sent to to delegation of the SENASA that there is in Tucumán, but go in group, and often they arrive in badly been, by the heat and the trip. In addition, they do not test of nursing mouse?. According to Vieta, one of the you marry that took care of yes was confirmed, by inmunofluorescencia and nursing mouse, but because they sent it to the Malbrán Institute, of Buenos Aires.
?We were alerted that it could to appear rage, but to never had seen to marries. In Santa Ana the dogs with moquillo plows common. First that we took care of seemed to be intoxicated, and for that reason we were five committed and medicado. It you respond, but to the sixth day it died, with encefalitis signs. Nor There were dribbling not symptoms mandibulares, but tremors. That was the marries confirmed in the Malbrán?, counted Gustavo Dada. The following step was there am himself who stops Farfán: to be vaccinated, Given, Vieta and the five employees of the clinic. Maria Cecilia underwent digestive malaises.
Before the appearance of you marry, and in the middle of to great paranoia in the City, the veterinarians began to take care of themselves dwells. ?We put began to doubles glove to U.S., for example. The subject is that that way they eats with moquillo, and one doubt if they have rage. Not sabés if to commit it or to send it the Antirabic one. It is to problem, because if there are moquillo, with ten days in the Antirabic one they die?, counted Given. The you marry did not to appear only in the City, but also in Three Cerritos, Cattle to tend, the Boiler and to other localities salteñas.
Several There were problems that collaborated with the diffusion of the rage. First, to bad preparation and reaction of the Government. ?The handling was disastrous. First there was to massive vaccination, but soon they you please positions of voluntary vaccination. In addition, those that vaccinated were enabled. We sent you marry for confirmation to the Antirabic one but to never they gave answers?, affirmed U.S. Given. The colleague Alonso added: ?They left to vaccinate cadets of the Police. One comments that some resold the vaccine. And others, if the animal were bad, left the dose him to the owners under that they put they. During the psychosis they vaccinated all the animals: it had to to hámster that it received average dose and, by all means, died?. In addition, the colleagues told that the personnel of the Antirabic one transported the suspicious dogs in car.
These tragicómicas situations plows, according to the veterinarians in Jumps and Jujuy, reflection of one dwells to dwells serious situation: that the local politicians do not finish understanding the gravity of the problem. ?In the heat of there am brings forth the veterinarians we joined ourselves and we decided to vaccinate free. The Government was committed to give dismissable U.S. to the vaccines and the ones. Still we plows waiting for the replacement of the dismissable ones??, assured Farfán. The consensus went to vaccinate to the dogs to the three and six months, but the reality is that, by lack of dose it was only vaccinated during the worse thing of the bud, counted the local colleagues. In addition, it is followed without understanding that the rage dog kill humans: ?To salteño, Nacho Figueroa, asked veterinarian to him the provincial Minister of Health what was going to do before the first marries of to person with rage. ?That is problem? you respond to me. Officially, they continues thinking that the rage is to problem of the veterinarians, because it affects the animals, and not of all the population?, the colleagues counted.
To other great subject that favored the expansion of the disease, and that makes fragile to all the zone, is to cultural custom. Ace much in It jumps ace in Jujuy people do not seem to have to very to clear notion of which she is to have to mascot responsibly. This is seen in the enormous amount of dogs that to wander by the street, but that in general you have to owner. ?People from open the door to her house to the morning and the animal leaves to take to walk. It AT noon returns to eat and again it leaves. You do not see anybody almost walking them with strap. Impossible Thus it is to distinguish to the animals with to owner of the street guides?, lament the local colleagues.
Not only that: of when the employees the Antirabic ones captures dogs in the street, soon they undergo the reprimands. ?There were lawyers who appeared demanding the liberation of such-and-such dog, because she was of certain politician or judge. People the taking with the Antirabic ones, in Jujuy got to stone it?, counted Farfán. In fact, fox to to terrier that it had been committed in the one of Jumps ?was kidnapped? by people of to Protector, who soon made judgment by damages and damages to the Municipality. In order to make worse the situation, in It jumps plows prohibited eutanasias.
Also in China
Of dwells than 50.000 dogs recently the east and the south of Chinese by two epidemics of rage were sacrificed in that already killed dwells than 20 people.
Last eutanasia massive August was ordered 9 of, to after which in the outskirts of Shangai two dogs bit to man of 59, which soon it died of rage, according to informed Spanish agency EFE. Organizations of defense animal of to other countries criticized the slaughters, and affirmed that the Chinese communist Government does not take ahead correct campaigns of vaccination of dogs. The animals plows sacrificed using stakes or electrocutando them.
In China to the rage ?kuangquanbing? is denominated, literally, ?disease of the crazy dogs?.
