Excerpt
INTRODUCTION The convening of the Consultation was prompted by several considerations: the fact that the first field trial for assessing the safety of oral immunization of wildlife in the USA will take place very soon. This will, hopefully, open the door for larger field experiments for-evaluatfng the efficacy of the-method for raccoon rabies control and subsequently for controlling the disease in the USA; the need to develop specific baits and delivery systems for the various species transmitting rabies in the United States (skunks. mongooses and red and Arctic foxes): the need for new concepts in bait composition and bait delivery to elaborate the most cost-effective strategies for the control of wildlife rabies in the Americas and also in Europe;
