RABIES SITUATION IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD AND DEVELOPMENT OF RABIES CONTROL MEASURES

The implementation of this Plan measures is entrusted directly to the CIS governments, whereas the coordination and control of these measures shall be ensured by the Intergovernmental Council for Veterinary Cooperation.
