The Animal Health Directorate for Greece has reported a case of rabies virus infection in a farm dog in Epirua, Western Macedonia in northern Greece. The affected dog had contact with wild animals and a case of rabies infection was reported in a fox in the same region on 22 October 2012; it has been 25 years since rabies was reported in terrestrial animals in Greece.
Advice for Travellers
This region of Greece is not a popular tourist destination and rabies pre-exposure vaccine would not be considered for most travellers as this country is considered low risk for rabies by WHO.
Travellers should be aware that northern Greece borders two countries with a high risk of rabies. Any animal bite should be reported as soon as possible for assessment. Travellers should not approach wild animals that appear to be behaving strangely.
