Abstract

Since the beginning of World War II the epizootic of sylvatic rabies has spread from a focus south of Kaliningrad: (a) southwards into Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia and Romania; (b) westwards through the Democratic and Federal Republics of Germany into Denmark (invaded for the third time in Sept. 1977), Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, and Northern Italy; (c) eastwards into USSR (Fig. 1).
