They produce important consequences for those who suffer them (physical and psychological injuries, secondary infections, sequelae, risk of transmission of zoonoses and surgeries, among others). The objective of this study was to characterize epidemiologically the incidents of bites in Chile and the patterns of human-dog relationship involved. The records analyzed in this article were obtained from bitten patients who attended the main public health facilities in Chile during the period 17 September 2017 and 17 September 2018: In the period studied, 17,299 animal bites were recorded; however, only 7220 (41.74%) cases were analyzed in which the offending species could be identified. Of the bites analyzed, 6533 were caused by dogs (90.48%). Of these, 41.05% were caused by medium-sized dogs. Most bites were caused by dogs of mixed breeds (55.99%), followed by dogs of the German Shepherd breed (8.50%). Most of the dogs that bit were known to the victim (99.95%) and most of the attacks occurred indoors (57.48%). Although dog bite records have improved in Chile, it would be useful to also include background information on the context in which the incident occurred, which would be very useful for developing effective bite prevention programs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani11010096","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,6]],"date-time":"2021-01-06T09:15:16Z","timestamp":1609924516000},"page":"96","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Epidemiology of Dog Bite Incidents in Chile: Factors Related to the Patterns of Human-Dog Relationship"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Carmen Luz","family":"Barrios","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"C\u00e1tedra Fundaci\u00f3n Affinity Animales y Salud, Universitat Aut\u00f3noma de Barcelona, Parque de Investigaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de Barcelona, C\/Dr. Aiguader 88, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Mayor, Camino La Pir\u00e1mide 5750, Huechuraba, Regi\u00f3n Metropolitana 8580745, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Bustos-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ciencias B\u00e1sicas, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Santo Tom\u00e1s, Av.
