ABSTRACT
Rabies is one of the most dangerous zoonotic disease because of the high morbidity and mortality rate. This disease is
caused by members of the RNA virus genus Lyssavirus, family Rhabdoviridae, order Mononegavirales. Rabies is an
acute disease which is transmitted through the bite of rabies vectors. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence
of rabies, the area of its deployment and the epidemiological correlation of cases between rabies in dogs and humans in
Tabanan, Bali from 2009 to 2014 in spatial term. This study was an observational study using the confirmation method
of data on rabies cases, both in dogs and humans. Data were obtained from the relevant institutions. Data were then
analyzed, tabulated, and depicted in a map of Tabanan regency from 2009 and until 2014. The result showed that the
incidence of rabies in dogs was firstly occurred in Dajan Peken village, Tabanan district, while in human was firstly
occurred in Buahan village, Tabanan district. The distribution of rabies was 36 cases in dogs and 18 cases in humans. In
addition, the cases of rabies in dogs and humans were spread in 38 villages out of 128 villages in Tabanan. There is a
positive correlation between the incidence of rabies evident in dogs and humans (r=0.324; p 0.05) between rabies cases in dogs and humans,
which mean an increase of rabies cases in dogs followed by an increase number of human rabies cases.

SUGGESTION
Further research on the relationship between the incidence of rabies in animals and humans with their risk factors

analysis are needed. These risk factors that may need to be evaluated including the dogs population, ratio of dog to
humans population, rabies vaccination rate, dogs and humans mobilization, and other related factors. The accurate data
on the epidemiology and risk factors that involve in the spreading of rabies, may help to create an appropriate
prevention program, especially in Tabanan regency.
