Rabies Reemergence, Central Europe, 2022–2024
Oral rabies vaccination campaigns helped eliminate rabies from parts of Europe, but rabies appears to be reemerging. We analyzed 2022-2024 data, which demonstrated reemergence of 2 virus variants; both were detected in Ukraine, Moldova, Poland, and Romania. Our findings highlight the need to strengthen rabies control efforts in the region.
