The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is situated on the border of a great sylvatic rabies epizootics occurring in central and eastern Europe. That is the reason why a relatively small number of rabid animals have been registered. In 1997, 124 rabid animals, mainly red foxes, were identified. In recent years red fox rabies epizootics in Yugoslavia has annually spread 15-20 km to the south. Rabies in domestic animals, especially dogs, was characterized with furious clinical forms and dog-to-dog transmission typical of urban rabies. Sylvatic rabies has been almost completely eradicated in some countries of western Europe in the last years, mostly due to the method of oral vaccination of foxes-the main vector of rabies.
南斯拉夫联盟共和国位于中欧和东欧发生大规模森林狂犬病流行的边境地区。这就是登记的狂犬病动物数量相对较少的原因。1997年，共识别出124只狂犬病动物，主要是赤狐。近年来，南斯拉夫的赤狐狂犬病每年向南传播15至20公里。家畜狂犬病，尤其是犬类狂犬病，表现为狂暴的临床症状和典型的城市狂犬病的犬间传播。近年来，西欧一些国家几乎已完全根除森林狂犬病，这主要归功于对狐狸（狂犬病的主要传播媒介）进行口服疫苗接种的方法。
