Resumen Sanitary Rules No. 3.1.096-96 Control of communicable diseases common to humans and animals (Rabies) contain the main requirements for a set of preventive, anti-epizootic and anti-epidemic measures; present methods for improving infected farms, preventing food contamination at trade enterprises; and measures aimed at limiting the role of humans as a source of infection. These Rules are mandatory for application on all territory of Russia by state bodies, enterprises and business entities, institutions and other organizations, irrespective of their subordination, jurisdiction and forms of ownership, officials and citizens. Rabies is an acute viral disease of animals and humans, characterized by signs of polio encephalitis and absolute lethality. The causative agent belongs to the rhabdovirus family. The foci and the main sources of rabies are wild predators, dogs and cats. The foci shall be classified as urban and natural types of epizootics. In urban epizootics, the main spreaders of the disease are stray and neglected dogs, and in natural epizootics, wild predators (fox, raccoon dog, polar fox, wolf, dog fox, jackal). Persistent natural foci of disease are formed in areas with high population density. Infection of humans and animals occurs through direct contact with sources of the rabies pathogen as a result of bite or salivation of damaged skin or outer mucous membranes. Heads of livestock farms, enterprises, institutions, organizations and citizens who own animals are obliged to: (a) register dogs owned by them in accordance with the procedure established by the local administrative body; (b) prevent dogs not vaccinated against rabies from entering personal backyards, farms, herds and flocks; and (c) take measures to prevent wild animals from reaching herds, flocks, feed yards and cattle-breeding premises; to this end, graze farm animals and keep them on farms, feed yards and summer camps under constant protection using dogs vaccinated against rabies.
