Currently, this species occurs only in localised areas of this range. African wild dogs are nomadic, highly social canids and form packs of up to 28 individuals with an average of around 8 - 12 members (Fig. 1). The main prey consists of antelope, which they mostly hunt down co-operatively. Packs are strictly hierarchical, each with a dominant (alpha) male and female. Usually only the alpha individuals breed, although the other members help to raise the young by bringing them food and by defending them. The average litter sizes is 7 - 10, although up to 19 may be born.

BEIJING, China (Reuters) Rabies cases have leapt nearly 63 percent in China in the first nine months of the year as the people's mad affair with pet dogs deepened, the China Daily reports. Rabies, "mad dog disease" in Chinese, killed 1,297 people up to the end of September, far exceeding the 1,003 deaths the Health Ministry reported for all of 2002, the newspaper said. This is the fifth straight year that China has seen a big jump in rabies infections. "Experts from the China Centre for Disease Control and Prevention are blaming the trend in pet ownership, the shaky quality of vaccinations, the public's weak awareness of vigilance and the low vaccination rate among the dogs as the major causes of the rapid rise in cases," the newspaper said. Another factor was stray dogs running wild on the outskirts of cities and in rural areas.

Rabies and Your Pet Rabies is a potentially fatal virus that can be spread between animals and to humans. Most mammals can spread the disease but it is most often spread by raccoons, foxes, and skunks. Rabies is most commonly spread by bites. Because of the seriousness of this disease, it is necessary by law to have your pet vaccinated against the disease. Even if your pet never goes outdoors, it is very wise to be sure you and your pet are protected from rabies. What can you do to protect your pet? It is quite simple. Get your pet vaccinated regularly. Your veterinarian will advise you when the shots are necessary. The first rabies vaccine is given during your pet's first year of life. A booster follows one year later, and then every 3 years.

All warm-blooded mammals including humans are susceptible to rabies. What mammals carry rabies? Bats are the only rabies reservoir in the Pacific Northwest. In Washington, rabies has not been found in raccoons, skunks, foxes or coyotes. These species may carry the virus in other regions of the United States. Worldwide in developing countries dogs are the principal rabies reservoir. How common is human rabies and what is the source of the rabies virus? Human rabies is an extremely rare disease. Since 1990 the number of reported cases in the United States has ranged from 1 to 6 cases annually. Almost all human rabies cases acquired in the United States since 1980 have been due to bat rabies virus. When human rabies occurs due to exposure outside of the United States it is usually the result of the bite of a rabid dog. Has human rabies occurred in Washington?

Rabies Prevention Guidelines You are here: DOH Home Topics A-Z » Rabies Prevention Guidelines Search Employees Animal bites must be evaluated very carefully. While human rabies is rare in the US (2 to 6 cases per year), it is almost universally fatal once the illness begins. Preventive treatment is highly effective, but it is very expensive (over $1,000 for one adult). These guidelines are a series of up to seven questions and answers which will help you determine: Whether a rabies exposure may have occurred. Whether an animal should be observed under quarantine, or tested for rabies. Whether preventive treatment should be considered. Please read the information below, and go down the screen to access the guidelines. Limitations These guidelines are not a substitute for seeking medical attention and calling your local public health department , if a bite occurred. It is not possible to anticipate all circumstances which may determine the decision to observe, test or treat. Ultimately, the response to an animal bite must be made individually. Furthermore, there are significant regional variations in rabies risk, which may influence the response to an animal bite, and modify the use of these guidelines outside Washington State.

(CNN) A vaccine maker is recalling thousands of doses of rabies vaccine after discovering through routine testing that one lot contained live virus that could potentially harm human health. The lot had not been distributed, Aventis Pasteur spokesman Len Lavenda said in a telephone interview with CNN from the company's U.S. headquarters in Swiftwater, Pennsylvania. As a precaution, Aventis Pasteur is also recalling three other batches of Imovax that were made at the same time, the Lyon, France-based company said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement that the lots being recalled were distributed between September 23 and April 2, and "had passed all FDA-approved release tests, including testing to confirm the absence of live virus," suggesting the risk to anyone who may have received the vaccine is small. Still, anyone who received rabies vaccine between those dates should contact their health care provider, the CDC dispatch said. No unusual events associated with the recalled vaccine have been reported, it added.

Mental Health You are in: Bacterial and Viral Infections Rabies Overview Rabies is a disease humans may get from being bitten by an animal infected with the rabies virus. Rabies has been recognized for over 4,000 years. Yet, despite great advances in diagnosing and preventing it, today rabies is almost always deadly in humans who contract it. Rabies can be totally prevented. You must recognize the exposure and promptly get appropriate medical care before you develop the symptoms of rabies. Where rabies is found: Human rabies is quite rare in the United States. Only 27 cases have been reported in people in the United States since 1990. Yet in some areas of the world (for example, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America), human rabies is much more common. The incidence of rabies in people parallels the incidence in the animal kingdom. The great strides that have been made in controlling the disease in animals in the United States and in other developed countries is directly responsible for this decline in human rabies.

KidsHealth Parents Infections Signs and Symptoms: Rabies is a very serious infection of the nervous system that is caused by a virus. Rabies is usually transmitted by a bite from an infected animal, and humans who develop a rabies infection often have a history of being bitten by an animal about a month before rabies symptoms began. Rabies starts with a PRODROMAL PERIOD (premonitory symptoms indicating the beginning of a disease) that usually lasts for 1 to 4 days. Symptoms during this prodromal period include: fever, headache, malaise (a generally ill feeling); muscle aches; loss of appetite; nausea; vomiting; sore throat; cough; and fatigue. There may also be a tingling or twitching sensation around the area of the animal bite. This is the one most specific symptom of rabies at this stage of the rabies infection. After the prodromal period, a second stage begins with symptoms that look like those of an encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). There may be fever as high as 105 degrees F (40.6 degrees C) with any of the following symptoms: irritability; excessive movements or agitation; confusion; hallucinations; aggressiveness; bizarre or abnormal thoughts; muscle spasms; abnormal postures; seizure (convulsions); weakness or paralysis (person cannot move some part of the body); extreme sensitivity to bright lights, sounds, or touch; increased production of saliva or tears. Also, there may be inability to speak as the vocal cords become paralyzed. The last stages of rabies produce symptoms that reflect the infection's destruction of many important areas of the nervous system. There may be double vision, problems in moving facial muscles, abnormal movements of the diaphragm and muscles that control breathing, and difficulty swallowing. It is the difficulty in swallowing - combined with increased production of saliva - that leads to the "foaming at the mouth" usually associated with a rabies infection.

Hilario Laya, who was born in the Philippines but had lived in Britain for several years, became ill after a trip to visit his family. A spokeswoman for University College Hospital, London, said Laya died on Monday night. The last indigenous case of rabies infection in the UK occurred in 1902. Laya was admitted to the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in London on April 30 and was moved into isolation. He was given the rabies vaccine to boost his immune response to the virus within an hour of being admitted and was then sedated. Relatives and members of hospital staff treating the patient were immunised, although the risk of transmission to humans is tiny. Other than the vaccine, there is no other treatment for the disease which is often fatal.
