Abstract

The article presents the features of the epidemic process of rabies in the Republic of North Ossetia — Alania (RNO-A) from 2011 to 2021. It provides epizootological and epidemiological characteristics of this zoonotic disease. We have identified risk areas and analyzed the main sources of the pathogen for humans among animals. It is interesting that, according to long-term observations on the territory of RNO-A, the main source of the rabies pathogen can be mainly found in both domestic and stray cats. Among requests from individuals that suffered animal injuries, during laboratory research it was verified that, only 1,8 % of animals contained rabies. Furthermore, more than a third (39.2 %) of those who applied for anti-rabies aid were found to have injuries of dangerous localization. On the territory of RNO-A foci of anthropurgic animal rabies predominate, however, in recent years cases of human rabies have not been registered.
