Rabies has spread from east to west with an annual advance of about 40 km. By 1960, the silvatic type of rabies had reached the Rhein. The principal carrier is the fox which is involved in 70% of epidemic occurences. The danger of infection of other wild and domestic animals and of humans starts with foxes. From 1974-76 the number of rabies findings in wild animals had increased by almost 100%. Cattle in the fields are particularly endangered by rabies from game. Rodents, like rats and mice have no epizootic importance in such epidemics. Since the first appearance of rabies in the Federal Republic of Germany, 15 humans have died from it, 7 of them had been infected abroad.
狂犬病已从东向西蔓延，每年推进约40公里。到1960年，狂犬病的森林型已蔓延至莱茵河。主要宿主是狐狸，70%的狂犬病疫情爆发都与狐狸有关。其他野生动物、家畜以及人类受感染的危险都始于狐狸。1974年至1976年期间，野生动物中狂犬病病例的数量几乎增加了100%。野外的牛尤其容易受到来自猎物的狂犬病感染。啮齿动物，如大鼠和小鼠，在这类疫情中没有流行病学意义。自狂犬病在德意志联邦共和国首次出现以来，已有15人死于该病，其中7人是在国外感染的。
