Rabies remains a public health issue in Europe, with oral vaccination reducing cases but

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Zoonotic Diseases

Background:

  • Rabies is a significant global and European public health concern.
  • While largely controlled in Europe via wildlife oral vaccination, 'hot spots' persist, particularly in Eastern Europe.
  • Red foxes are primary vectors, but raccoon dogs are emerging as an independent infection cycle in some Eastern European countries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the ongoing challenges in rabies control in Europe.
  • To emphasize the need for enhanced rabies surveillance and data quality.
  • To introduce the Rabies Bulletin Europe (RBE) as a tool for improving data sharing and control.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of rabies occurrence trends in Europe.
  • Monitoring of infection cycles in wildlife reservoirs (red fox, raccoon dog).

  • Publication and dissemination of data through the Rabies Bulletin Europe (RBE).

    • Main Results:

    • Significant rabies reduction in many European countries, including Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Poland.
    • Persistence of rabies 'hot spots' in northeastern and southeastern Europe.
    • Emergence of independent raccoon dog rabies infection cycles in Eastern Europe.

    Conclusions:

    • Continued strategic cooperation and improved surveillance are essential for rabies eradication in Europe.
    • The Rabies Bulletin Europe (RBE) aims to consolidate data and improve public health response.
    • Addressing remaining rabies reservoirs and emerging infection cycles is critical for European public health.
