“…The spread of rabies in foxes in an area of Switzerland was halted when an oral vaccine was used to vaccinate 60% of the fox population (8). An oral vaccine to control raccoon rabies (9) is undergoing evaluation in New York and Massachusetts (10,11).…”

Any cost-benefit analysis of the use of an oral vaccine to control raccoon rabies should include calculating both costs and benefits in terms of $/unit area. Further, cost savings must be adjusted to match the stages of an epizootic: pre-epizootic, epizootic, and post-epizootic. A generic model, which can be adapted to different sites, illustrates the use of threshold analysis to link distribution costs, cost savings, bait density, and vaccine price. Initial results indicate the need to lower the cost of the vaccine, continue research to determine optimal bait densities, and examine distribution plans that do not require continued protection of areas in which raccoon rabies was eliminated through previous vaccination programs.

“…As vacinas orais rábicas (ORV) começaram na Suiça, com o uso de iscas para raposas contendo vírus atenuado e atualmente é utilizada por muitos países da Europa (Steck et al 1982). A vacinação oral é sem dúvida o método mais simples e eficaz para combater a raiva em cães de rua, especialmente depois da implementação da tecnologia do DNA recombinante, que permitiu vacinas mais seguras e eficazes (Dietzschold et al 2004).…”

“…The area of the canton was about 5 000 square kilometres in total, of which one quarter was >1 500 metres above sea level. (Steck et al, 1982b). By the year 1982, ten vaccination campaigns had been carried out in the canton which freed the area from rabies.…”

“…The campaigns took place in March and October. Elimination was deemed to be successful in the regions where 50-80% of the red foxes had detectable levels of virus neutralizing antibodies (Steck et al, 1982a;Wandeler et al, 1988b).…”

ABSTRACT:The rabies situation has changed drastically in all European countries where oral vaccination campaigns of red foxes against rabies have been implemented. All types of oral vaccines used have shown to be highly efficacious, enabling rabies elimination over large areas. Several countries are already declared rabies-free according to the internationally conditions set and other countries are in the final stage of this process. In this review, the rabies situation in a number of selected European countries is described, with special emphasis on oral vaccination.
