Rabies kills in Europe, Czech veterinarians warn because of Italian case

An outbreak of rabies in Italy, linked to an imported dog from Morocco, has prompted warnings from Czech veterinary authorities. The incident involved a female dog adopted by an Italian family during their holiday in southern Spain, which was not vaccinated against rabies at the time. Upon arrival in Italy, the dog received vaccinations but not for rabies. In May 2025, the dog exhibited neurological symptoms and aggression, leading to its euthanasia after it bit its owner. Rabies testing confirmed the infection, alarming Italian authorities. The case highlights risks associated with importing animals from regions outside the EU where rabies prevention standards may be lower. Czech officials warn that while rabies is officially eradicated in the country, the global presence of the disease remains a concern, especially through animal imports.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about a rabies case in Italy and its implications for Czech veterinary practices. While it raises concerns about animal importation and public health, it does not take a clear ideological stance. The tone is informative and cautionary rather than overtly left
