Abstract

Rabies is one of the oldest recognized diseases. It most probably originated on the African continent and diffusion in North Africa was followed by the spread throughout Europe and Asia. The disease subsequently appeared on the North American continent possibly by transmission through circumpolar animals such as foxes and wolves, though the importation of rabid dogs from Europe is also probable. Today rabies is a disease of major importance, present on all five continents (Theodorides, 1986; Kieny et al., 1987; Kurstak, 1993).
