Abstract

The thesis presents the analysis of the oral immunization effectiveness, taking cognizance of wild foxes. The preventive measures conducted 15 years ago have significantly contributed to the substantial decline in the number of verified cases of rabies among wild and domestic animals. Despite the fact, that aforementioned measures have been generating high costs covered by the
state’s founds, they dramatically reduced the risk of epizootic danger, thus epidemiological risks. Undertaken actions also led to the dynamic growth of population of foxes, which resulted in a kind of disruption of natural ecological system concerning the ‘predator – prey’ relation, therefore they have indirectly contributed to the deepening of the already ongoing contraction of the basic small animals.
