Abstrakt: The vaccination of wild animals against rabies has been developed most extensively in Europe. Experiments have demonstrated the efficacy of a vaccinia-rabies recombinant virus administered by the oral route in foxes. The innocuity of this vaccine was tested in the target species as well as in several non-target wild and domestic species. Because of its safety and heat-stability, this recombinant virus should offer an excellent alternative to the attenuated strains of rabies virus currently used in the field. A large scale field trial was conducted in Belgium in October 1988 to assess the efficacy of this new vaccine-bait systems.
