Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are the main reservoir of rabies in Slovenia, whereas cases of rabies in other wildlife species occur sporadically. In 1995, a program of oral vaccination of wildlife in Slovenia was initiated; baits with oral vaccine were distributed by air at a density of 20 baits/km(2). During 1995, when the oral vaccination program was started, 1,089 cases of rabies (including both wild and domestic animals) were reported. Five years later (1999), only six positive animals were detected among 1,195 tested (0.5%). Despite an increase in bait density (25 baits/km(2)) during the years 2000 and 2001, reported rabies cases increased to 115 and 135, respectively. In 2003, following initiation of a new bait-dropping strategy, which incorporated perpendicular rather than parallel flight lines, the number of rabies cases decreased to eight.
赤狐（赤狐属）是斯洛文尼亚狂犬病的主要宿主，而其他野生动物物种的狂犬病病例则偶尔出现。1995年，斯洛文尼亚启动了一项野生动物口服疫苗接种计划；口服疫苗诱饵通过飞机以每平方公里20个诱饵的密度进行投放。1995年，即口服疫苗接种计划启动之时，报告了1089例狂犬病病例（包括野生动物和家畜）。五年后（1999年），在1195只接受检测的动物中仅检测到6只阳性动物（0.5%）。尽管在2000年和2001年诱饵密度有所增加（每平方公里25个诱饵），但报告的狂犬病病例分别增至115例和135例。2003年，在采用了一种新的投放诱饵策略后，狂犬病病例数降至8例，该策略采用了垂直而非平行的飞行路线。
