In the last century, canine rabies was endemic in our country. In the 1990s, Peru implemented the action plan for the elimination of urban rabies on the recommendation of the Pan American Health Organization, achieving successful rabies control. Despite the efforts made, Puno maintained persistent endemic foci, and in 2014, Arequipa reported the first event of reintroduction of urban rabies in Latin America. The outbreak of rabies intensified in recent years in Arequipa, Puno and Cusco, with 19 cases of canine rabies in 2015, to 59 cases in 2016, continuing 2017 with 47 cases, 2018 with 46, and until July 2019, 17 cases Thus, there was reintroduction of canine rabies, establishing a situation of uncontrolled high endemicity. In this report, we address the context and persistence of the re-emergence of canine rabies in south Peru.
