Sylvatic and urban forms are the different features of the disease which could be found in Iran. ANIMAL RABIES in north, north-east, and north-west parts in addition, to Fars and Kerman provinces has the most prevalent area in the country. A positive case of rabies in cat has been found in Tehran city which has been rabies free since thirteen years ago, from then, the positive rabies cases in Tehran, reaches to 5 cases.Conclusion: According to the given results, it could be concluded that by establishing the antirabies treatment centers, all bitten individuals can refer to the nearest health centers and undergo the antirabies treatment, after injured by rabid animal. Considering to the increasing trend of positive cases in all parts of the country, it seems that measures regarding combat or eradication of rabies could have an effective role in rabies control, in neighboring provinces. Increasing trend of positive rabies cases in dogs shows that in each region generally increased positive rabid dogs could result a rising trend in economical damages in ruminants. So, by effective control measures in rabies combat, it could be possible to compensate the economical damages due to rabies in animal and human by lowering the consumption of vaccine and antirabies serum.
