On July 16, the governor of Svalbard received a report from a sick reindeer. The reed was weak in the legs and could not get up. Reinsimla and a calf were killed and sent to the Veterinary Institute of Oslo for examination. Analysis of brain tests at the Veterinary Institute confirmed that reindeer had rabies.

Notice of Suspicion of infection
People who have been bitten or injured with animals that are suspected of being infected with rabies, should as soon as possible contact the doctor for advice and vaccination. People who have been licked or bitten by a dog who has been in contact with suspect animals in the past two days should also contact a doctor to assess the need for the vaccine.
There has never been human rage in Svalbard. Visitors and settlers who may come into direct contact with wild Svalbard mammals should be vaccinated. People should avoid contact with wild animals in general, and especially avoid dead animals and animals that behave abnormally. Anyone who has been in contact with animals that may be infected with rabies should contact a doctor as soon as possible, whether or not they have been vaccinated earlier. For more information on rabies vaccine, see the Vaccine Guide.
About Rabies
Conventional rabies is caused by lyssavirus type 1 and is primarily a disease in animals. It can also infect humans. Rabies is the finest in all parts of the world with the exception of Antarctica.
Most countries in Europe are free of classical rabies. In large parts of the American continent, bats are the main reservoir of this Lyssavirus genotype. In low-income countries in other parts of the world, the disease is the major disease in dogs (including calves) and spreads to humans through dog bites. For more information on rabies, see the Infectious Health Advisor
History
Rabies is detected sporadically in animals at Svalbard and the last rash in 2011 when it was detected in four crests mountain and some reindeer. The first rabie gong was detected in animals at Svalbard in 1980. No cases were reported during the 1999-2010 period, despite extensive research on reef guns. The mountain reefs that roam the ice from Siberia, Canada or Greenland are the troubled cause of the mountain reefs infested with rabies in Svalbard. Desses can transmit the infection to other animals, to the judge's reindeer, usually through bites. Continental Norway is free from rabies.
