Rabies was confirmed as the cause of death of one African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) in the Serengeti region, Tanzania. One adult African wild dog in the same pack showed central nervous signs consistent with rabies infection. Inactivated rabies vaccine was administered intramuscularly to African wild dogs in two packs, by dart or by hand following anesthesia. These individuals comprised all known adults in the Serengeti National Park. In a limited study of seroprevalence of rabies antibody carried out at the time of vaccination, 3 of 12 African wild dogs sampled in the Serengeti had rabies serum neutralizing antibody titers before vaccination. Paired serum samples from two individuals sampled after vaccination showed increased antibody titers.
狂犬病被确认为坦桑尼亚塞伦盖蒂地区一只非洲野犬（非洲野犬属）的死因。同一只群中的一只成年非洲野犬表现出与狂犬病感染相符的中枢神经系统症状。通过飞镖注射或在麻醉后手动给两个犬群中的非洲野犬肌肉注射了灭活狂犬病疫苗。这些个体包括塞伦盖蒂国家公园内所有已知的成年野犬。在接种疫苗时对狂犬病抗体血清阳性率进行的一项有限研究中，在塞伦盖蒂采集的12只非洲野犬中有3只在接种疫苗前具有狂犬病血清中和抗体滴度。来自接种疫苗后采样的两只个体的配对血清样本显示抗体滴度升高。
