An epizootic of rabies in mongooses ocurred in the village of Júcaro, located in the south of the province of Ciego de Avila, was studied. 5 cases were reported, in which 5 persons, 2 pigs and a dog were injured. The behavior of animal rabies in the territory from 1987 to 1997 was evaluated. The precipitations and temperatures registered in the period 1967-1997 (historical) were analized. The appearance of record temperatures and precipitations in 1997 was evaluated. The possible relationship of this epizootic with climatic factors was analyzed.
