Rabies situation in the Moscow Oblast in 2011–2023 and the role of oral vaccination of wild carnivores against rabies
Rabies is a zoonotic viral disease of all warm-blooded animals caused by a neurotropic virus, member of the Lyssavirus genus of the Rhabdoviridae family. About 59,000 people die from hydrophobia globally every year. According to the World Health Organization, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and the comm...

| description | Rabies is a zoonotic viral disease of all warm-blooded animals caused by a neurotropic virus, member of the Lyssavirus genus of the Rhabdoviridae family. About 59,000 people die from hydrophobia globally every year. According to the World Health Organization, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and the common raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) are the main reservoirs and vectors among carnivores of the rabies virus in Europe. The paper describes animal rabies situation in 2011–2023 and the role of oral vaccination of wild carnivores against rabies in the Moscow Oblast. The region is a part of the Central Federal District and located in the center of the Russian plain bordering seven Oblasts (Tver, Smolensk, Kaluga, Tula, Ryazan, Vladimir and Yaroslavl Oblasts), which are also rabies infected. Notwithstanding the metropolis growth, the number of wild carnivores in the Moscow Oblast remains high. Comprehensive preventive measures to control the population of the wild carnivores are taken to stabilize the rabies situation and decrease the incidence, innovative achievements in laboratory diagnosis are introduced, population immunity of wild carnivores by oral vaccination is improved and the epidemic situation in neighboring regions is analyzed. In 2017 the systemic, consistent and thoroughly organized campaign was started – the oral vaccines were distributed by light aircrafts. The research revealed the correlation between the decrease in annual number of reported rabies cases and increase in the amounts of oral vaccines distributed. The use of controlling devices (camera traps) confirmed that oral rabies vaccines are consumed by the target animals (red foxes). The onward systemic, methodical approach to rabies prevention will mitigate the risks of rabies occurrence in the Moscow Oblast. |
