Rabies is an infectious viral disease. The virus has a single-stranded RNA genome and uses Desmodus rotundus, a species of hematophagous bat that is the main transmitter of this disease to cattle, as its natural reservoir. It affects the central nervous system, causing encephalomyelitis that has a lethality greater than 99%. Clinical signs include ataxia, drooling, aggressiveness, prostration, and sudden death. The objective of the study was to compare the frequency and distribution of bovine rabies cases in Peru between the years 2020 and 2021 according to department, month of the year and climatic season. The SENASA Weekly Epidemiological Reports for the years 2020 and 2021 were used to obtain information on reports of suspected rabies, as well as positive cases of bovine rabies. The results showed that the year 2021 presented more cases of bovine rabies than the year 2020. The Sierra was the region that presented the highest number of positive cases and Apurímac was the department with the most cases in both years, followed by Ayacucho and Cajamarca. The departments with the highest frequency of cases share geographical limits (Cajamarca, Amazonas and San Martín in the north of the country and Ayacucho and Apurímac in the south of the country). Based on the results, it is suggested to strengthen control and prevention programs in the Sierra in order to reduce the impact of this disease through the promotion of animal vaccination, raising awareness about the disease to farmers and population control of the reservoir to reduce the presentation of the disease in Peru.
