Of the 420 cats, 38 samples (9.05%) were positive, 16% (4/25) of Acre, 8.65% (18/208) and 8.74% for the (16/183) of Rondônia.

Positivity in horses was 24.00% (6/25), 50% (3/6) of Acre, 15.38% (2/13) and 16.66% for the (1/6) of Rondônia . Only one sample was positive for the pig, representing 16.66% (1/6). 1670 bats, two (0.12%) were positive in Para, where almost all species of domestic animals had at least one positive case except cleft and goats. The animal rabies has been gradually reduced over the years, but remains a serious public health problem.
