Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Since October 2001, France has the status of a country free from rabies regarding warm-blooded animals. Nevertheless, the risk of rabies is ever present and related to the illegal importation of animals from countries in which rabies is considered to be endemic. OBSERVATION: In 2001, a puppy imported illegally from Morocco died from rabies in Gironde, requiring the prophylactic treatment of 21 persons exposed and the euthanasia of a contact animal, as well as the application of legal measures against the couple at the origin of the importation. CONCLUSION: Illegal importations of animal from areas of rabid enzootics are frequent. It is important to inform all the tourists who visit these countries on the sanitary risks involved, in terms of human and animal health, in bringing such animals back to their own country.
