\n

The Bauchi State Government<\/strong><\/a> says it has inoculated 5,000 dogs against rabies across the 20 local government areas of the state.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

\n

Dr Ibrahim Bello, Director, Veterinary Services in the state Ministry of Agriculture, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Bauchi.<\/p>\n

Rabies is a deadly virus spread from the saliva of an infected animals to humans.<\/p>\n

It is usually spread through an animal bite. Animals most likely to spread rabies include dogs, bats, coyotes, foxes, skunks and raccoons.<\/p>\n

Bello said the vaccination exercise was being conducted under its free anti-rabies vaccination campaign designed to stem the spread of the disease in the state.<\/p>\n

According to him, the ministry would also administer anti-rabies vaccine on another 5,000 dogs and pets in the next round immunisation exercise billed to commence on Oct. 19, 2022.<\/p>\n

He urged dog keepers and pet owners to avail themselves the opportunity and present their pets for vaccination to protect them against zoonosis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe vaccine helps prepare pets\u2019 immune system to fight disease causing organisms.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt contains antigens that resemble disease causing pathogens and mildly stimulate the immune system,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Director, however, decried the spate of stray dogs in major towns across the state, describing the trend as \u201calarming\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said many dogs had not been registered or licensed with relevant authorities, noting that a lot of rabies infected dogs could be on the prowl.<\/p>\n

The dogs, he said could be potential\u00a0source of transmitting rabies disease, especially unvaccinated ones.<\/p>\n

Bello said properly kept dogs present great benefits of companionship, security, health, hunting and research purposes, among others.<\/p>\n

Bello warned dog owners to desist from allowing them to prowl without vaccination, saying: \u201cits dangerous for unvaccinated dog to bite a person\u201d.<\/p>\n

The director further advised animal keepers, especially dogs to visit veterinary clinics for routine vaccination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
