Rabies epidemic in Montrouis: at least five deaths in September

October 14, 2025 Editorial

A wave of deaths linked to canine rabies is rocking the town of Lanzac in the commune of Montrouis. According to local sources, no fewer than five people succumbed to the disease during the month of September after being bitten by stray dogs.


Montrouis, October 14, 2025 –

The disease struck suddenly, leaving residents bewildered. Lacking clear information, some attribute the symptoms to mystical phenomena, evoking supernatural creatures such as "lougarous."

The Pierre Payen health center, which is supposed to serve the area, has neither the necessary expertise nor qualified doctors to treat rabies cases. No non-governmental organization (NGO) or local structure is currently able to intervene quickly, deplores Patrick Estimé, an educator and well-known journalist in the Montrouis community, interviewed by the editorial staff of Vant Bèf Info.

Faced with this alarming situation, residents are calling on the Ministry of Public Health and Population to intervene urgently. The risk of the disease spreading to other parts of the municipality is real, especially since Montrouis is already facing chronic land conflicts and widespread insecurity.

A month after these deaths, the Ministry of Public Health and Population remains silent. No canine vaccination campaign. No awareness-raising. Not even a symbolic presence. In Montrouis, where insecurity and land conflicts are already raging, the disease has been added to the list of ignored threats.

The risk of spread is real. And yet, nothing is happening. How many more deaths will it take for the authorities to wake up from their torpor?
