Abstract:
During the epidemiological research of zoonoses, the authors have studied the rabies of wild animals: fox. For the serological tests, the blood was taken by heart puncture of foxes. 193 specimens were tested and 26 (13.5%) of the foxes had neutralizing antibody in their blood. This study confirms that during the rabies epizooty, the Vulpin population, may contract a non-fatal disease and produce the neutralizing antibody. Thus, the fox has a real place in the epidemiology of rabies in Iran.
