Abstract

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 (Macdonald 1980; 1993). A detailed description of the effects of two rabies outbreaks on a population of known individuals in the Serengeti National Park is given. Inter- and intrasexual differences in adult mortality rates are reported and discussed.
