-The most important measure to protect people against rabies, is to vaccinate the dogs, says researcher at the Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI) Hannah Joan Jørgensen in this video. NVI marks World Rabies Day today 28. September 2022 together with the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in Kenya, where Jørgensen participates in a campaign to vaccinate dogs against rabies.
Based on submitted samples, the Norwegian Veterinary Institute notified the Norwegian Food Safety Authority when a semi-domestic reindeer slaughtered in Norway, Børgefjell national park, tested positive for CWD (Chronic Wasting Disease). The suspicion has now been disproved.
As the publication of the results for the regular Research Council of Norway (RCN) calls 2022 reaches its end, the Norwegian Veterinary Institute has secured funding for coordinating seven new projects, and has therefore good reasons to be happy with the new possibilities ahead.
