The Texas Department of State Health Services Zoonosis Control Branch Oral Rabies Vaccination Program (ORVP) was created to eliminate rabies in coyotes (Canis latrans) in South Texas and rabies in gray foxes(Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in West Central Texas. The ORVP utilizes an oral rabies vaccine with a bait attractant. The vaccine/bait units are distributed aerially along transect lines. This ensures a consistent coverage of the target area.
