Dengue fever is an acute viral infection that causes high mortality and morbidity in humans worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, and the dynamics of Dengue virus transmission are determined by the interaction between the environment, the agent, the host population and the vector that exists in a specific habitat. The magnitude and intensity of this interaction will define the transmission of Dengue in a community, region or country.

La dengue est une infection virale aiguë qui provoque une mortalité et une morbidité élevées chez l'homme dans le monde entier, en particulier dans les régions tropicales et subtropicales. La dynamique de la transmission du virus de la dengue est déterminée par l'interaction entre l'environnement, l'agent, la population hôte et le vecteur qui existe dans un habitat spécifique. L'ampleur et l'intensité de cette interaction définissent la transmission de la dengue dans une communauté, une région ou un pays.

Rabies is a zoonosis of viral origin due to a neurotropic Rabdovirus that attacks some animals, especially the dog, and is transmitted by saliva in dog and cat bites. It is a compulsory slaughter and notifiable disease. All homeothermic animals are susceptible to it. Suspected wild animals must be killed to examine the brain for evidence of rabies. After the animal bites, rabies prevention is based on physical elimination of the virus by proper wound treatment and specific immunological procedures.

The use of medicinal plants in domestic animals has increased, both in productive animals and pets. It is common the use of plants by our farmers and urban breeders to cure their animals, who acquire knowledge that is transmitted to other people. It is necessary to gather all possible experience and the results of research that come into our possession to give them daily use. This compendium was prepared trying to gather information that can be useful to all people interested in knowing the therapeutic benefits of medicinal plants and use them in daily practice.
