  1. Rabies in Mongolian steppes A. Botvinkin, D. Otgonbaatar, S. Tsoodol, I. Kuzmin - Irkutsk State Medical University, Russia. - Center of Infectious Diseases with Natural Foci, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. - Center for Diseases Control and Prevention, Atlanta, USA.

  2. Mongolia:- human population – 2.5 mln- cattle – 35.0 mln

  3. - About one million of Mongolian people lives in traditional houses – “yurta” - Local name of rabies is “galzoo” – kind of wicked spirits

  4. Epidemiological features of rabies in Mongolia • 1994-2006 – 11 human rabies cases; in average index 0.4 per mln • Cattle-breeder children (4-7 years old) – 50% of all human cases • 64% of human cases were caused by wildlife • Bites of herd dogs – 90% of PET

  6. Human rabies in Mongolia (total case number 1972-2006)

  7. Distribution of the steppes in Mongolia and neighbouring countries

  8. Main vectors and reservoirs of rabies virus in Mongolia

  9. Human rabies in Mongolia (1994-2006; n=11): Wolf – 5 Red fox – 2 Dog - 4 Active surveillance in Chita region of Russia (1977-1980; n=370): - Red fox – 3,7% - Steppe fox – 3,5% Main vectors and reservoirs of rabies virus in Mongolia
