OBJECTIVE:

To describe the prevalence of animal rabies in Pará State, Brazil, from 2004 to 2013.

RESULTS:

Of the 13,987 samples received and analyzed in laboratory, 1.26% (176/13,987) were positive. The positive records, by species examined, were: 34.78% of horses (8/23); 34.71% of cattle (42/121); 25.00% of pigs (3/12); 1.33% of felines (5/375); 1.22% of canines (105/8,633); 0.27% of chiropters (13/4,797); and the other species (goats, sheep, simians, leporids, procyonids, rodents, and unidentified) were negative (0/26). Mesorregião Sudoeste Paraense presented the highest positivity rate (6.15%).
