Abstract：The objective of the present study was to summarize and analyze the epidemics of human rabies in Guangxi, China, from 1951 to 2010, and to investigate the epidemiological factors and the features for providing scientific evidence for development of the prevention and control strategies. A descriptive epidemiological method was used to conduct statistical analysis on the epidemiological data of rabies and reported cases in Guangxi between 1951 and 2010. Totally, 17 210 cases of human rabies were reported during these 60 years and the overall incidence was high. The epidemic peak appeared around every 10 years from 1951. The epidemic focus was expended annually, from the north to the south and from the east to the west. Most of cases were found in rural areas, being caused by dog bites with category Ⅲ exposure mainly in head, face and upper limb. The average latent period was 63 days. Though provided by proper postexposure treatment, some patients still died during or after rabies vaccination. Statistical data from surveillance site of human rabies exposure clinics showed that the morbidity was 2.75/100 000. In the year from 2006 to 2010, the positive rates of nucleic acid of rabies virus in brain tissues of the dogs with healthy appearance were 1.9%, 0.93%, 0.91%, 0.40% and 0.00%, respectively. Results suggested that prevalence of human rabies is high in Guangxi and shows a periodic epidemic situation. The factors including keeping large number of dogs, low vaccination rate in dog, high rate of virus carrying among healthy appearance dogs, high exposure rate of human to dogs, low awareness of self-protection, and the unaffordable cost of vaccination are all contributed to the epidemics. The continued expansion of natural epidemic focus, inadequate management of infection source, and inadequate implementation of comprehensive prophylaxis are the main reasons for the reemerging of human rabies in Guangxi.
