Rabies Programme elements Epidemiology good understanding of disease location, reservoir and dynamics Vaccination Well planned bait distribution, taking account of disease distribution, administrative and natural features and applying feedback from results Laboratory Control of vaccine before distribution, bait uptake, immunity levels in target species Administration effective achievement of above

Rabies Future developments- Regional approach Support in Kaliningrad Eastern borders of EU WB countries
Thank You for Your attention
Rabies Programme should be under control of central veterinary authority; sufficient resources shall be guaranteed; programme shall be monitored and the progress reported to the Commission Programme shall be beneficial to the Community and MS; the tools shall be used in the most effective way; the costs shall be auditable;
Rabies Future developments- Regional approach The regional approach would allow to widen the current programmes, and to deepen them if necessary SANCO is launching a work in collaboration with the OIE, in order to make the EU ADNS (Animal Disease Notification System) evolve towards and Animal Disease ( ADIS ) Information System This ADIS system should be accessible to EU neighbourhood countries, and could be a major tool for animal health network
