In France, historical records compiled by rural historian Jean-Marc Moriceau indicate that during the period 1362–1918, nearly 7,600 people were killed by wolves, of whom 4,600 were killed by non-rabid wolves.
Numerous attacks occurred in Germany during the 17th century after the Thirty Years' War, though the majority probably involved rabid wolves.
In Latvia, records of rabid wolf attacks go back two centuries.
At least 72 people were bitten between 1992–2000.
Similarly, in Lithuania, attacks by rabid wolves have continued to the present day, with 22 people having been bitten between 1989–2001.
Around 82 people were bitten by rabid wolves in Estonia during the 18th to 19th centuries, with a further 136 people being killed in the same period by non-rabid wolves, though it is likely that the animals involved in the latter cases were a combination of wolf-dog hybrids and escaped captive wolves.

Several Russian zoologists after the October Revolution cast doubt on the veracity of records involving wolf-caused deaths.
Prominent among them was zoologist Petr Aleksandrovich Manteifel, who initially regarded all cases as either fiction or the work of rabid animals.
His writings were widely accepted among Russian zoological circles, though he subsequently changed his stance when he was tasked with heading a special commission after World War II investigating wolf attacks throughout the Soviet Union, which had increased during the war years.
A report was presented in November 1947 describing numerous attacks, including ones perpetrated by apparently healthy animals, and gave recommendations on how to better defend against them.
The Soviet authorities prevented the document from reaching both the public and those who would otherwise be assigned to deal with the problem.
All mention of wolf attacks was subsequently censored.
