Abstract

A high case of potential rabid animal bites human is reported in Bener Meriah Regency of Aceh, Indonesia. The application of one health concept in controlling rabies is important at least by providing identical data of potential rabid animal bites in the veterinary (VHC) and public health (PHC) centers. This study aimed to compare the number and trend of animal bite cases reported by the VHC and PHC of Bener Meriah Regency at different time of the year. The primary data on the potential rabid animal bites reported in January-May 2017 were descriptively analyzed based on the victim name, bite location and time, and bitting animals. The results showed that potential rabid animal bites reported by PHC (31 cases) were higher than those reported by VHC (10 cases). Identical cases reported by the two parties were 40% (4/10). The majority of cases reported by VHC (3/10) and PHC (9/31) occured in February and April, respectively, and were mainly caused by dogs, followed by cats and monkey. To conclude, a disctintive in the numbers and trend of potential rabid animal bites were reported in VHC and PHC, a condition might be overcome by the implementation of one health approach.
