In July 2011 the first case of rabies in wild animals (foxes), was officially confirmed in Macedonia. This is the first case in the last couple of decades. Positive cases in foxes have been confirmed in the neighboring countries in the last couple of years, (Serbia, Kosovo, Albania, Bulgaria) which is in the immediate vicinity of the border with Macedonia. Тhe sequencing of the nucleoprotein gene has demonstrated a high homology (99%) of the sequence with the one of a strain isolated in Poland (accession Genbank number AF033882 (96174POL) and of two strains isolated in Hungary (accession Genbank number RVU42999 (9384, fox) and RVU43000 (9386, fox). Those three strains were published in 1999. A 98,5 % homology was found with a sample from Bulgaria (accession Genbank number DQ300294 (fox). The project “Building of the capacities of the veterinary service for the implementation of the EU Acquis in Macedonia” started in August 2010 in Macedonia, financed by the IPA funds. Within the project, the Food and Veterinary Agency has implemented the following activities with regards to rabies control: • The first campaign for oral vaccination of foxes against rabies was implemented, 18.05-09.06.2011; • A training for hunters was realized for the implementation of the monitoring of the oral vaccination campaign, 03-06.05.2011; • A training for the human medicine doctors was realized – Rabies Postexposure prophylaxis; • A campaign has been realized for raising of the public awareness with regards to rabies (promotional material: brochures, posters, video, information aired on the radio); • The system for rabies surveillance has been strengthened (first official confirmed case) • The monitoring of the first oral vaccination of foxes against rabies is currently being implemented.
