[Evolution of rabies focus in Malaga]

Authors describe the evolution of a canine rabies focus which started in 1975 in the Spanish province of Malaga, probably from a North African rabid dog. This focus, which spread mainly in 1975-1976 is considered now as eradicated, thanks to vaccination and control of dog populations. Two fox rabies cases, reported in 1977, were not followed by the development of a selvatic rabies epizootic.
