Control of Wildlife Rabies: The Americas

  • Chapter
Rabies

Part of the book series: Developments in Veterinary Virology ((DVVI,volume 7))

Abstract

The goal of rabies control in North America is to eliminate human exposures to the disease. There are different levels at which this can be accomplished. The first line of defense involves vaccination of dogs and cats plus control of wandering dogs. However, rabies is enzootic in wild animals in much of the Americas, so complete control must ultimately address elimination of the disease from the wild. That achievement is still in the future, but significant strides have been made towards reducing the major wildlife enzootics within North America, and we may expect dramatic reduction of rabies among terrestrial mammals by the year 2000.
