Oral fox rabies vaccination dramatically reduced cases in France from 1989-1998, eliminating the disease. This strategy proved highly effective, though risks from bat and imported canine rabies persist.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary epidemiology
  • Zoonotic disease control

Background:

  • Fox rabies emerged in France in 1968, expanding despite initial control measures.
  • Early strategies included population reduction, domestic animal vaccination, and human prophylaxis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of different rabies control strategies in France.
  • To assess the impact of oral fox vaccination on rabies incidence.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of rabies case data and enzootic area changes from 1968 to 1998.
  • Comparison of outcomes from traditional control methods versus large-scale oral vaccination.

Main Results:

  • Rabies incidence and geographic spread increased during the first two decades.

  • Oral vaccination of foxes, initiated in 1989-1990, led to a significant decline in cases.
  • Rabies was eradicated in France by the end of 1998.

    • Conclusions:

    • Large-scale oral vaccination of foxes is a highly effective strategy for rabies elimination.
    • France has successfully controlled fox rabies but remains vulnerable to bat rabies and imported canine rabies cases.
