Almost all human deaths caused by<unk>  occur in Asia and Africa. There are an estimated 59,000 human deaths annually from<unk>  worldwide. Dog licensing, euthanasia of stray dogs, muzzling, and other measures contributed to the elimination of<unk>  from the United Kingdom in the early 20th century. More recently, large-scale vaccination of cats, dogs and ferrets has been successful in combating<unk>  in many developed countries.<unk>  is a zoonotic disease, caused by the<unk>  virus. The<unk>  virus, a member of the Lyssavirus genus of the Rhabdoviridae family, survives in a diverse variety of animal species, including bats, monkeys, raccoons, foxes, skunks, wolves, coyotes, dogs, mongoose, weasels, cats, cattle, domestic farm animals, groundhogs, bears, and wild carnivores. However, dogs are the principal host in Asia, parts of America, and large parts of Africa. Oral vaccines can be safely administered to wild animals through bait, a method initiated on a large scale in Belgium and that has successfully reduced<unk>  in rural areas of Canada, France, the United States, and elsewhere. For example, in Montreal baits are successfully ingested by raccoons in the Mount Royal park area.
