The paper describes data concerning rabies in domestic animals and in wildlife, as well as in bats, in Poland in 2008. The analysis of the rabies situation was based on species involved and the geographical distribution of rabies outbreaks. The data presented showed the epidemiological situation of rabies in Poland is under control and in the following years a decrease in rabies cases was observed due to the oral vaccination of foxes. The fox still remains the main reservoir of rabies, therefore the oral vaccination as a method of the eradication of rabies should be continued.
