    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary epidemiology
    • Zoonotic disease surveillance

    Context:

    • A canine rabies epizootic emerged in Malaga, Spain, in 1975.
    • The outbreak was likely initiated by a rabid dog imported from North Africa.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the evolution and eradication of a canine rabies focus in Malaga.
    • To assess the risk of secondary wildlife rabies transmission.

    Summary:

    • The canine rabies focus spread significantly in 1975-1976.
    • Effective dog vaccination and population control measures led to the eradication of canine rabies.
    • Two isolated cases of fox rabies in 1977 did not result in a sustained wildlife epizootic.

    Impact:

    • Demonstrates the success of targeted vaccination and control strategies in eliminating canine rabies.
    • Highlights the importance of monitoring for potential spillover into wildlife populations.
