    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary medicine
    • Epidemiology
    • Public health

    Context:

    • Rabies is endemic in West-Europe, with foxes being the primary reservoir.
    • Human rabies transmission occurs through direct contact with infected animals.
    • The Sambre-Meuse line, previously a natural barrier, is now experiencing rabies cases.

    Purpose:

    • To report on the current rabies situation in Belgium.
    • To document the prophylactic measures employed.
    • To evaluate experimental oral vaccination strategies in foxes.

    Summary:

    • In 1988, Belgium reported 514 positive rabies cases, predominantly in foxes (71%) and cattle (18%).
    • This led to 1391 human vaccinations (curative and preventive).
    • The study discusses oral rabies vaccination using live attenuated and recombinant vaccines in foxes.
