    In this year's provincial "two sessions", the Guangdong provincial industrial party will submit the proposal, said the nearly 6 years, rabies has become a cause of Guangdong farmers, students mainly because of infectious disease deaths.

    According to reports, the liberation of the initial incidence of rabies in Guangdong lower level, 200 cases of each of the following, then the rise, reached a peak in 1980, the annual incidence of up to 1629 cases.


    Access to 90 years, because of increased prevention and control efforts, the incidence rate gradually dropped to a low of 12 cases in 1996.


    However, lack stable and effective prevention and control system of laws and regulations to support, there is a big random control measures, so as the increase in the number of dogs, rabies epidemic since the late 90's on display to rising trend.


    Incidence and Mortality 2003, 173 cases of disease from 2004 to 2006 the number continued to rise over 387 cases in 2006.


    From 2007 to 2008 declined slightly, but the incidence remained around 300 cases over the number of cases in 2008 ranked second in China.

    疫区要加强犬只捕杀工作
    Affected areas to strengthen the work of dog killing

    Provincial Health Department analysis, a number of reasons for this situation.


    One dog and management are not standardized, in 1992 the provincial government issued "Provisions on the Administration of Guangdong Province dogs", some provisions such as the dog's approval, management no longer meet the needs of the new situation, operability is poor, leading to confusion dog management.


    Second, the dog is relatively low immunization rates, from more than 70% vaccination rate there is a great distance, can not develop an immune barrier.


    Third, the measures do not completely clean infected areas, especially in some rural areas, villagers work on the illegal slaughter of dogs do not understand, do not match, even if the purification of the epidemic, the lack of monitoring mechanisms, purification measures less than a year after the interval, then the masses Fu dog just to make repeated outbreaks.


    In view of this, the provincial health department will ask epidemic (District) to strengthen the work of hunting dogs, to ensure the epidemic (district) within a week to cleaning standards, affected areas to keep clean for one year, to prevent outbreaks repeatedly.


    At the statutory level, the provincial agriculture department will focus on the amendments to "Provisions on the Administration of Guangdong Province dogs" to further regulate the registration and management improve the province's dogs, dogs in our province increased standard of conservation, management, diseases and other content, and in accordance with Government regulations modify the procedure, to the Legislative Affairs Office of the provincial government approval.


    In addition, injured dogs will be standard treatment, strengthen the management of rabies vaccine for human use.


    Health departments to enhance patient injury in dogs, and further improve rabies vaccine cold chain, to ensure the quality of vaccines and immunization.


    Drug Administration departments will strengthen the rabies vaccine production, distribution and use in the field of supervision, to ensure the quality of vaccines.


    Rabies vaccine into the scope of the new rural cooperative medical reimbursement policy implementation efforts will also be increased burdens, increase immunization coverage.
