The statistics of these zoonosis were obtained in the Municipal Unit of Hygiene and Epidemiology from Santiago de Cuba municipality. The positivity universe was constituted by 31 animals, with a prevalence of dogs (93,5%) and mongeese (6,4%). In 2007 the highest quantity in dogs was notified (15), and the most affected health area was that of "Frank País García" Polyclinic, with its popular councils Agüero-Mar Verde and Manuel Isla. Dogs without race prevailed (55,2%) and the rage rate was 6,4 every 100 000 dogs, which injured 73 people, (34 per year).
