Abstract

Rabies is an infectious disease of warm blooded animals and humans due to a neurotropic virus which is usually spread by the intake of virus contaminated saliva into a wound after the bite of a rabid animal. In the present epidemic of Western Europe which started about 1940 in the East and which shows a tendency of spreaching in a west southwesterly direction — figure 1 — (Kauker, 1975) foxes are the most important carrier of the disease. Rabies virus was isolated during 1975 in the GFR from 5718 animals of which 4l80 (75 percent) were foxes and only 905 domestic animals (474 cattle, 113 dogs, 164 cats, and 154 other domestic animals).
