[Rabies in Hungary].
The rabies in Hungary between 1954 and 1967 was sporadic, and only later it became an epidemic disease (800-1,300 cases per year). More than 90% of the cases was diagnosed in foxes. Rabies occurs at different frequencies all over the country. Defense has been based on annual vaccination of dogs against rabies and on decrease of the fox populations with hunting, poisoning and gasification of burrows. Nowadays we have considered to initiate oral vaccination of foxes and at the same time to avoid poisoning because of its environmental effects, and gasification because of its low effectiveness.
