Since then it has become established in this species in the drier western half of the country and the south-western Cape so that rabies now occurs in bat-eared foxes adjacent to the peri-urban canine population of Cape Town. Peak incidence was recorded in the early 1980s and the incidence is seasonal with most cases occurring in winter.en© ARC-Onderstepoort (original). © University of Pretoria.
