Of 14 cases of suspicious animals of being contaminated by the virus, 10 cases have been positive. The affected regions are Santo Domingo and San Pablo.
When asking why is not carried out a popularization campaign to the population so that it vaccinates their mascots, the answer was that, the Ministry of Health (in the Capital) reduced the budget in this year and there are not funds to make preventive publicity. Also, it is worrying the proliferation of street dogs that stroll for the towns.

The animal important vectors include: dogs, cats, bats, mongooses, foxes, ferrets, raccoons, and wolves.
The transmission is only possible by the direct contact with a vectorial carrier or with biological material coming from the same one, since to be a virus with a wrapped up lipids it is very sensitive to the environmental factors.
This illness, if it doesn't talk to the maximum urgency, it finishes provoking the sick person's death. When a person is contagious, the symptoms of the illness can take between 60 and 300 days in showing.

También en la Ciudad Capital de Guatemala, hoy se vivió una jornada de violencia cuando grupos organizados de delincuencia hirieron a un piloto del servicio urbano y asesinaron a dos pasajeros en tres ataques armados.
En uno de los ataques armados de hoy, un pasajero de aproximadamente 85 años, fue asesinado e hirieron a un piloto del servicio urbano de la ruta 44 cuando 2 delincuentes que viajaban en una motocicleta dispararon contra el piloto en la zona 2 de esa ciudad. Minutos después, otro ataque se realizó en contra de otro piloto de la misma ruta en la entrada a la Colonia Bethania y Anillo Periférico, el piloto salió ileso. Un tercer hecho similar ocurrió en Anillo Periférico en la cercanías a la Universidad de San Carlos cuando un bus de la ruta 203 fue abordado por varios delincuentes para asaltar a los pasajeros y dieron muerte a una persona de 20 años.
Estos hechos provocaron que varias rutas suspendieran el servicio como protesta a la poca seguridad que tiene este sector. Momentos después, los estudiantes de la Universidad de San Carlos instalaron barricadas en Calles aledañas a la universidad para protestar contra el gobierno y las autoridades policíacas por la poca seguridad que tienen los pilotos del servicio urbano y la población en general ante la ola delincuencial. Miles de personas tuvieron que caminar por varias horas para llegar a sus destinos.
Los pilotos indicaron que estos ataques son producto de la falta de pago de una extorsión de Q75 mil quetzales que los delincuentes habían exigido en días anteriores.
Por su parte, el Ministro de Gobernación, Salvador Gándara, indicó que el crimen organizado quiere desestabilizar al país al provocar esta ola de violencia que ha afectado a toda la capital en general. En particular, señaló a un pandillero, Áxel Danilo Ramírez, alias “Smiley”, quien recientemente salió libre bajo fianza, por los delitos de orquestar y dirigir extorsiones y asesinatos de pilotos. El Presidente Alvaro Colon, la noche del Martes por TV, dijo que estos actos de violencia son provocados por el crimen organizado para desestabilizar a su Gobierno, y que estos surgieron por políticas erróneas en materia de seguridad de gobiernos anteriores.
