Представлена система эпидемиологического надзора и мониторинга бешенства в Камеруне. По данным Всемирной организации здравоохранения, бешенство людей и животных признано эндемичным для Центральной Африки в целом, а в Камеруне, в частности, это инфекционное заболевание классифицируется как первый приоритетный зооноз в рамках реализации Национальной программы профилактики и борьбы с возвращающимися и вновь возникающими зоонозами (PNPLZER). Уровень среднемноголетней заболеваемости бешенством, зарегистрированный в период с 2014 по 2022 г., составил 405,7‰ (95% ДИ: 401,9–409,5‰). По результатам ретроспективного эпидемиологического анализа представлена динамика случаев бешенства среди людей в Камеруне в соответствии с данными, зарегистрированными в оперативном центре чрезвычайных ситуаций общественного здравоохранения (CCOUSP). Самые высокие показатели были зафиксированы в период с 2018 г. (547,4‰) по 2019 г. (276,8‰), а самые низкие с 2021 г. (10,7‰) по 2022 г. (3,1‰). Для выявления социально-демографических факторов риска проведено обследование очагов бешенства с использованием специально разработанных анкет (карт сбора эпидемиологической информации). Картирование зарегистрированных случаев бешенства у людей было проведено для 10 административных районов страны с использованием программы LTR QGIS (квантовая ГИС), которая позволила показать распределение случаев заболевания по территории страны и динамику во времени. Установлено, что распределение случаев заболевания по территории не всегда зависит от плотности населения в административных районах, а связано с конкретными социально-демографическими факторами риска, такими как профессия, пол, возраст, тип животного-резервуара вируса, которые влияют на активность циркуляции возбудителя среди естественных хозяев.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article presents the results of an epidemiological study of the incidence of rabies in the population of the Republic of Cameroon in the period from 2014 to 2022. The system of epidemiological surveillance and monitoring of rabies in Cameroon is presented. According to WHO, human and animal rabies is recognized as endemic to Central Africa as a whole, and in Cameroon, in particular, this infectious goiter is classified as the first priority zoonosis within the framework of the National Program for the Prevention and Control of Recurrent and Re-emerging Zoonosis (PNPLZER). The average annual incidence of rabies recorded between 2014 and 2022 was 405.7% (95% CI: 401.9% – 409.5%). Based on the results of a retrospective epidemiological analysis, the dynamics of rabies cases among people in Cameroon is presented in accordance with data recorded at the Operational Center for Public Health Emergencies (CCOUSP). The highest rates were recorded in the period from 2018 (547.4%) to 2019 (276.8%), and the lowest in 2021 (10.7%) to 2022 (3.1%). To identify socio-demographic risk factors, a survey of rabies foci was conducted using specially designed questionnaires (epidemiological information collection cards). Mapping of registered cases of rabies in humans was carried out for 10 administrative regions of the country using the LTR QGIS (quantum GIS) program, which allowed us to show the distribution of cases across the country and dynamics over time. It has been established that the distribution of cases of the disease across the territory does not always depend on the population density in administrative districts, but is associated with specific socio-demographic risk factors such as profession, gender, age, type of animal reservoir of the virus, which affect the activity of the pathogen circulation among natural hosts.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>эпидемиологический анализ</kwd><kwd>эпидемиологический надзор</kwd><kwd>мониторинг</kwd><kwd>вирус бешенства (бешенство)</kwd><kwd>геоинформационная система (ГИС)</kwd><kwd>QGIS (квантовая ГИС)</kwd><kwd>Республика Камерун (Камерун)</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>epidemiological analysis</kwd><kwd>epidemiological surveillance</kwd><kwd>monitoring</kwd><kwd>rabies virus (rabies)</kwd><kwd>geographic information system (GIS)</kwd><kwd>QGIS (quantum GIS)</kwd><kwd>Republic of Cameroon (Cameroon).</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Sadeuh-Mba S.A., Besong, L., Demanou M., et al.
