Al Amin Bhuiyan M, Agrawa P, Wadhwaniya S, et al. - A total of nearly 1.17 million people across all age and gender profiles were involved in this cross-sectional survey done in 51 Unions of seven subdistricts of Bangladesh from June 2013 to September 2013 in order to ascertain the size and pattern of animal-related injury mortalities and morbidities in rural Bangladesh. Across all ages, the incidence rate of fatal and non-fatal animal-related injuries were 0.7 and 1635.3 per 100,000 populations, respectively. Amongst adults 18 years and older and in males in all age groups, the rates of non-fatal animal-related injury were highest. Wasp/hornet/bee sting, followed by cow/buffalo, dog bite and snake bites were the most prevalent animal injury. In summary, in rural Bangladesh, animal-related injuries are a serious public health issue. In the study area, the incidence of animal-related morbidities was high. Moreover, men, school-going and productive age groups were at high risk. Thus, in order to prevent these events, urgent attention should be provided.
