title: [Mathematical model of the propagation of a vulpine rabies epizootic (author's transl)].
abstract: A mathematical model of propagation of a vulpine rabies epizootic has been worked out in order to build a prediction tool and to fix a suitable prophylaxis. The main ecological hypotheses and their mathematical expression are presented. This consists of a system of two integro-differential equations which have been discretizited to approximate their solution numerically. The results of the simulation of this model are consistent with the data observed in the field.
