In some provinces in Syria, rabies
is an increasing concern in a deteriorating political climate. This year
[2013], Spana-Syria conducted a campaign of free dog vaccination at its
premises in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Al Baath University, Hama, vaccinating
strays as well as owned dogs.
Over 1000 animals were vaccinated. The group also raised awareness about the dangers of rabies by distributing posters and leaflets and an illustrated story for children.

Leishmaniasis, Syria, Humans
Approximately 100 000 people have
been infected with the leishmaniasis parasitic disease in the past 2 years
after civil war broke out in Syria, compared with before the conflict when the
number of cases in Syria had been reduced to 3000-4000 as a result of joint
efforts by Turkish and Syrian authorities.The increase in the number of patients suffering from the disease is alarming not only for Syria but for Turkey as well, since leishmaniasis has also reached Turkey.
