Animal health authorities | |
in Kenya have confirmed that three hyenas which attacked and bit people in | |
different locations were infected with rabies. | |
A series of unusual hyena attacks have occurred in the country since | |
January. | |
Samples were | |
collected from a hyena that bit a university student this month in the capital, Nairobi, and one that attacked two people in the | |
neighbouring county of Kajiado. | |
The Kenya Wildlife Service | |
(KWS), said the confirmation of rabies in the | |
hyenas explains the unusual and aggressive behaviour towards people. | |
KWS issued a warning to people in the affected areas to "exercise caution". | |
At the beginning of the year KWS issued advice telling people to: “try not to show your fear, keep yourself calm by talking to it”. This drew mixed reactions from Kenyans. | |
Rabies is a neglected, | |
vaccine-preventable viral disease which occurs in | |
more than 150 countries. | |
It causes tens of thousands of deaths every year, | |
mainly in Asia and Africa. Most deaths occur in children under 15 years of age. | |
People are usually infected following a | |
deep bite or scratch from an animal with rabies. | |
No | |
human case of rabies has been reported yet after | |
the wave of hyena attacks. | |
KWS has begun mass vaccination of domestic dogs in Nairobi. | |
