[Rabies in Tunisia. A comparative study of results from the last 36 years].
The author presents an evaluation of rabies control during the last 36 years. He discusses especially the problem of vectors, diagnosis, vaccine and treatment, taking into account the 1982-1987 National Campaign for Animal Rabies Control. He notes an improvement of the situation with a significant decrease in the rate of positivity among the biter animals. He considers, however that this rate remains relatively too high to allow the prevention of disease persitance in the country. He suggests the continuation of the efforts undertaken to control biter animals and eventually the extension of the campaign to the regional level.
