Epizootic features of the rabies manifestation In the Krasnodar region and the improvement of the combat measures

Rabies is one of the top ten deadly human infections. It is found in more than 150 countries. Rabies is malignant progressive encephalitis that affects all mammalian animals due to its ubiquity and high lethality. It is still a widespread threat. The epizootic situation for rabies is unfavourable in most countries of the world, with the exception of some island states, as well as some countries in Western Europe. Despite the significant progress in improving the effectiveness of epizootic monitoring, introducing specific prevention tools into widespread veterinary and medical practice, as well as improving diagnostic tools, developing countries in Asia and Africa are considered to be disadvantaged territories. The Russian Federation and most of the countries that have a land border with the Russian Federation are endemic for rabies. At the same time, the fight against rabic infection can be successful with a scientific systematic integrated approach that takes into account all the issues of regional epizotology with the study of the found isolates distributed in certain areas that are included in natural foci of rabies. The basis of the antiepizootic measures for rabic infection are climatogeographic factors that can be used in the conditions of the Krasnodar territory
