2 1. Editorial
Currently, Europe is facing very hectic and unsettling days. We are daily confronted with media reports about avian influenza, another important zoonosis worldwide. The avian influenza virus H5N1 has recently spread to Turkey and Romania, and national veterinary and public health services throughout Europe are busy implementing measures against the disease. Hopefully, concerted actions of veterinary and public health authorities can prevented more serious consequences.
Rabies is therefore not always top priority on the national agenda. However, as always we try to keep you interested in rabies surveillance, research and control. Turkey is the only country in Europe in which dog mediated rabies is present. In this issue we present you an interesting article about recent developments of rabies in this country. As rabies in foxes recently emerged in some provinces in western Turkey speculation arose whether these cases represent an independent cycle of rabies in foxes or whether this could be explained by repeated spill-over from the dog reservoir. The paper attempts to address pro and contra of an independent infectious cycle in this species.
In 2004, a network of excellence called MED-VET-NET officially commenced which works for the prevention and control of zoonoses and food borne diseases and is funded by the EU for five years. Another article in this issue describes the objectives, cornerstones and activities of a small project within this EU funded network aiming at the molecular epidemiology of European bat lyssavirus.
At the first international Conference “Rabies in Europe” held in Kiev in June 2005, the needs for intensified surveillance on bat rabies was stressed. We would like to take the opportunity to request articles on the organisation of bat rabies surveillance in European countries that may help others to establish similar systems.
