Abstract
Rabies is an acute contagious infectious disease, mainly characterized by nervous symptoms that can affect all mammals. It is characterized by sometimes signs of aggression, and others by paresis, paralysis and acute viral encephalitis. This study aimed to describe, by using the basis of the data recorded in the Continental Epidemiological Surveillance System , SivCont, the epidemiological profile of rabies of herbivores in Piauí in 2007 to 2011. Durante the period there were reported 66 cases of nervous syndromes in the state of Piaui, where 35 cases were confirmed positive laboratory result for rabies in herbivores, and of this total, 94%were in cattle. Also noted is that there are areas in the state of Piaui without nerve syndromes notifications, showing the complete "epidemiological silence", suggesting situations of underreporting, even when in the vicinity there have been outbreaks of disease. Situations like this suggests the necessity of an increase in animal health protection actions, actions in health education, covering all segments of the community and intensifying surveillance activities.

Analisando o perfil epidemiológico da raiva no Estado do Piauí no período de 2007 a 2011, pode-se concluir que dentre as espécies animais envolvidas, a espécie bovina foi a que apresentou um maior número de casos positivos para raiva
Summary
O SivCont – Sistema Continental de Vigilância Epidemiológica é um sistema desenvolvido pelo Centro Pan-Americano de Febre Aftosa (PANAFTOSA), para registrar os dados sobre atendimento a suspeitas de síndromes vesiculares, síndrome hemorrágica dos suídeos, síndrome respiratória e nervosa das aves e síndromes nervosas, cujos alvos são a raiva, a Encefalite Espongiforme Bovina e as encefalites equinas, demonstrando as ações de vigilância para detecção das doenças alvo de cada síndrome. Foram consultadas no Sistema Continental de Vigilância Epidemiológica – SivCont, as ocorrências relativas a síndromes nervosas, registradas pela Agência de Defesa Agropecuária do Estado do Piauí, no período compreendido entre os anos de 2007 a 2011, separando-os segundo o ano e a espécie animal
