Abstract
A composition and method for immunizing carnivores and other mammals, especially foxes, against rabies and other pathogenic diseases, by setting out and orally administering a dose of a vaccine, are described. The vaccine is enclosed in a bite-permeable sponge-like vector and the container is coated with a membrane containing an attractant, such as tallow. The method operates by penetration of a sponge resulting in distribution of relatively large volumes of vaccine to the oropharyngeal cavity of the mammals.
