| Notes: | This page about the Eurasian badger confirms that systematic gassing campaigns, and mortality caused by rabies itself, led to a massive decline in the badger population, with numbers declining to perhaps 10% of their former levels, but since then gassing has ended and rabies has practically disappeared, thanks to widespread use of oral vaccines. |
