title: [Topical problems of rabies: natural foci, the methods of study and control in Central Russia].
abstract: This analytical review is dealing with the origin and evolution of modern rabies as well as hypotheses concerning the natural foci of rabies infection, the formation of the Central European nosological area of rabies and its eastward shift due to the systematic oral vaccination of the main hosts. The epizootological problems connected with the character of the natural foci of rabies, as well as the methods and prospects of the vaccination of foxes on the territory of Central Russia, are discussed.
