Oral rabies vaccination (ORV) is the most cost-effective method for wildlife rabies control, leading to rabies-free status in many European countries. Germany is now targeting its last remaining rabies hotspot.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Public Health
  • Wildlife Disease Ecology
  • Zoonotic Disease Control

Background:

  • Conventional wildlife rabies control methods are less effective than oral vaccination.
  • Oral rabies vaccination (ORV) has successfully eliminated rabies in several European nations.
  • A persistent rabies focus remains in a tri-border region of Germany.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the effectiveness of oral rabies vaccination (ORV) in wildlife rabies control.
  • To address the ongoing challenge of a residual rabies hotspot in Germany.
  • To detail corrective actions for eliminating the last German rabies focus.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of wildlife rabies control strategies.
  • Implementation and monitoring of oral rabies vaccination (ORV) programs.

  • Surveillance and targeted interventions in affected wildlife populations.

    • Main Results:

    • Oral rabies vaccination (ORV) is identified as the most cost-effective approach for wildlife rabies management.
    • Successful rabies elimination has been achieved in multiple European countries through ORV.
    • A specific rabies hotspot in Germany requires continued intervention despite broader elimination.

    Conclusions:

    • Oral rabies vaccination (ORV) is a highly effective tool for controlling and eliminating wildlife rabies.
    • Targeted strategies are necessary to eradicate the final rabies foci.
    • Continued efforts are crucial to maintain rabies-free status and prevent re-emergence.
