Herbivore rabies, predominantly affecting cattle, horses, and goats in Brazil, remains a concern, results in substantial losses in the livestock industry, and poses risks to public health. Rabies virus transmission, primarily through hematophagous bats in Latin America, underscores the need for effective strategies, and vaccination plays a crucial role in controlling herbivorous rabies, with systematic vaccination beingly the primary method. Efforts to control rabies in herbivores include vaccination campaigns, public awareness programs, and the enhancement of surveillance systems. Despite these initiatives, rabies persists and imposes an economic burden and a significant health risk. Economic impacts include losses in the livestock industry, trade restrictions on livestock products, and financial burdens on governments and farmers owing to control measures. Despite the considerable costs of campaigns, surveillance, and control, investing in rabies vaccination and control not only safeguards livestock, but also preserves public health, reduces human cases, and strengthens the sustainability of the livestock industry. Mitigating the impact of herbivorous rabies in Brazil requires integrated approaches and continuous investments in vaccination, surveillance, and control measures to protect public health and ensure the sustainability of the livestock industry, thus contributing to food and economic security.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani14162305","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,8]],"date-time":"2024-08-08T12:13:14Z","timestamp":1723119194000},"page":"2305","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The Silent Threat: Unraveling the Impact of Rabies in Herbivores in Brazil"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Marcelo Cardoso da Silva","family":"Ventura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Institute of Education of Piau\u00ed, Teresina 64000-040, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-4338-6967","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J\u00e9ssica Milena Moura","family":"Neves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biosafety Level 3 Facility, Oswaldo Cruz Institute, Fiocruz, Rio de Janeiro 21040-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9140-9079","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Randyson da Silva","family":"Pinheiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Epidemiology, Federal Institute of Education of Piau\u00ed, Teresina 64000-040, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-1916-9658","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcos Vinicius Costa","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Epidemiology, Federal Institute of Education of Piau\u00ed, Teresina 64000-040, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elba Regina Sampaio","family":"de Lemos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hantavirosis and Rickettsiosis Laboratory, Oswaldo Cruz Institute, Fiocruz, Rio de Janeiro 21040-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marco Aurelio Pereira","family":"Horta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biosafety Level 3 Facility, Oswaldo Cruz Institute, Fiocruz, Rio de Janeiro 21040-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) (2018).
