Lycaon pictus is amongst the most endangered wildlife species in Africa. In 1990 rabies virus was isolated
from the brain of an adult Lycaon found dead in the Serengeti region of Tanzania. One adult and
six pups of the ...

This paper provides a brief introduction into some aspects of bat-eared fox biology and social organization
that is important to understanding rabies transmission and disease management in susceptible
wildlife species ...

The black-backed jackal is represented in rabies records from southern Africa and is suspected of playing
an important role in the disease in this region. The basic biology of the species suggests that it does have
certain ...

There was a general decline in animal rabies in Europe in 1991 following the peak levels which occurred
in 1989. This was ascribed, in France at least, to the normal decline in cases usually experienced following
peak ...

Macdonald, David W.; Rabies in Southern and Eastern Africa. Workshop. (1993, Pretoria, South Africa); Verwoerd, Daniel Wynand
(Published by the Agricultural Research Council, Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute, 1993)
Understanding the behavioural ecology of wild mammals in rabies epizootics is a prerequisite to scientifically
sound management of the disease. The principal vectors of wildlife rabies in a region tend to be
abundant ...

Rabies in bat-eared foxes was first recognized in South Africa in 1955 and is likely to have been derived
from canine rabies introduced to South Africa in 1950. Since then it has become established in this
species in the ...

The first confirmed outbreak of rabies in Africa, believed to have followed the importation of an infected
dog from England in 1892, occurred in the eastern Cape Province of South Africa, and was brought under
control ...

A serosurvey of rabies antibodies among domestic dogs (Canis familiaris, n=178), spotted hyaenas (Crocuta
crocuta, n=72) and African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus, n=18) of the Masai Mara, Kenya, was carried
out. Rabies ...

(Published by the Agricultural Research Council, Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute, 1993)
Differences in the social systems and behaviour of two potentially important hosts of rabies, the African
wild dog and the spotted hyaena, may lead to differences in the epizootiology of the disease in the two
species. ...
