Summary. Rabies is particularly dangerous disease of all warm-blooded animals and humans. Ukraine has been experiencing an uneasy epizootic situation on rabies in recent years. The objective of this study was to determine the spatial and temporal patterns of enzootic rabies in Chernigiv oblast of Ukraine in 2011–2016. Space-time clusters of rabies cases with a ‘sporadic’ time trend were identified in central and south-western raions of Chernihiv oblast. Three clusters of a ‘new’ time trend in the far south-east of the oblast may be connected with the termination of the 2015 oral immunization of wild carnivores against rabies in Poltava and Sumy oblasts.

Keywords: enzootic rabies, epizootic situation, domestic animals, wild animals, surveillance, space-time cluster
