Good news for Slovenia! After years fighting against the disease, Slovenia successfully submitted last May to the OIE its self-declaration of freedom from rabies. The story of this success can be read pages 75 to 81 of the OIE Bulletin No. 2016-2. It includes detailed documentation on the history and epidemiological evolution of the disease, the eradication measures in domestic animals and the wildlife population, the rabies surveillance and monitoring, the import and trade procedures as well as the measures for disease awareness.
