The disease resulting from infection by a lyssavirus is called rabies in any animal species (Rage in French, Tollwut in German, Rabia in Italian and Spanish).

The major clinical signs are related to an encephalomyeloradiculitis. The epi­demiological situation of rabies in Europe is still a public health concern (from several EU neighbouring countries and a few new member countries of the EU). In Western Europe, the threat to public health was considerably miti­gated during the 20th century owing to vaccination of domestic or wild animals. Nevertheless, rabies remains a significant health risk and a re-emerging disease. The disease still occurs sporadically as a result of introductions of animals incubating the virus, and some strains are prev­alent among a small number of bat species. Moreover, within the EU borders, rabies remains enzootic in red fox (Vulpes vulpes), raccoon dog (Nyctereutesprocyonoidet) and dog ( Canis familiarit).
