Rabies is a zoonotic disease reported by the World Health Organization with a high mortality in Africa and Asia. Studies conducted in Angola in the decade 1930-1960 refers dogs as the main transmitters of the disease diagnosed in wild dogs in the laboratory. In recent years, there has been a large number of cases in the country, having a major impact on public health. This paper analyzes the behavior of human rabies in 2007 and 2009 in Huambo, and data were obtained from the records of the General Hospital, Department of Public Health, annual reports of the General Provincial Directorate of the Institute of Veterinary Services and reports or do Huambo Township Headquarters.

Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) is a zoonotic disease that causes big losses to the livestock industry and represents a risk to public health in many countries. The epidemiology of BTB is quite complex, the bacilli grows very slowly, it can remain in dormancy for long periods of time and affects different animal species; including non-reservoir wildlife. Because of this, international efforts have been focus on developing genotyping techniques for better understand the epidemiology of the disease and trace back sources of infection. Nowadays, genotyping is based on the polymorphism of genetic markers with variation in stability. In this paper, the role of RFLP, spoligotyping and VNTR in genotyping M. bovis is discussed. The possibility of creating national and international dynamic databases of genotypes that support policies to eradicate the disease from cattle is analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
