OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.The published work presents a summary and factual analysis of data on the history of rabies in the Slovak Republic. The authors analyse the historical development of the disease situation across the whole spectrum of wild and domesticated animal species.
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishCurrently, Slovakia is a rabies-free country, but the epizootiological situation of rabies was not always favorable. The main reservoir species of rabies virus in the first half of the last century was the domestic dog. Since 1906, hundreds of cases were reported, of which approximately 90% were infected dogs. The disease had a typical urban character. Since 1929, the number of rabid domestic animals decreased due to the implementation of dog vaccination campaigns in particular parts of Slovakia. From the second half of 1950s, red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) have become an important reservoir of the RABV. In this time period urban rabies in Slovakia changed into sylvatic form. One effective method of prevention and control of wildlife rabies is an oral rabies vaccination of red foxes. It is carried out in Slovakia since 1993. A detailed development of the rabies epizootiological situation on the territory of the Slovak Republic until the application of oral antirabies immunisation of foxes and the current situation after its performance is the main object of this review.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceThe implementation of surveillance and monitoring programmes, pre-exposure vaccination of domestic carnivores and oral vaccination of foxes are among the key activities that contribute to the successful prevention of rabies in the Slovak Republic. Preventive measures need to be carried out effectively throughout the national territory, focusing in particular on high-risk areas close to neighbouring countries with confirmed circulation of RABV. Currently, the epidemiological situation of rabies in Slovakia is good due to the continuous oral vaccination of foxes against rabies.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational processThe knowledge summarized in a clear scientific article forms a solid basis for students of the Animal Welfare and Protection degree programme.
