During this incubation (or latent)period, the animal appears healthy and shows no sign of infection. Usually within 1 to 3 months, the virus migrates to the nerves near the site of the infection and spreads to the spinal cord and brain (i.e., the central nervous system). It takes anywhere from 12 to 180 days to spread through the peripheral nerves to the central nervous system. At this point, the disease progresses rapidly, and the animal begins to show the classic behavioral signs of rabies. The virus spreads to the saliva, tears, breast milk, and urine. The animal usually dies in 4 or 5 days. Rabid animals show typical symptoms. The first sign of rabies is a

From the Washington State Department of Health and the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice Rabies Prevention in Washington State: A Guide for Practitioners Revised July 2001 Written by David Blythe et al. Designed and produced for the World Wide Web by Phillip Dunham June, 1998 INTRODUCTION Throughout human history, few illnesses have provoked as much anxiety as has rabies. Known as a distinct entity since at least 500 B.C., rabies has been the subject of myths and legends across time and cultures. And while the incidence of human cases in the US has declined markedly over several decades, rabies continues to inspire dread today. The recent deaths of two Washington residents from rabies and the highly-publicized discovery of bats in the Governor's Mansion have lead to heightened public concern about rabies in this state. Amidst this concern is a great deal of misinformation about the disease. This guide is designed to provide practitioners the information they need to prevent rabies. It is meant to be used by practicing physicians and other health care providers, veterinarians, local health department staff, and animal control personnel. The information contained herein is an amalgamation of the observations and recommendations of a number of agencies and organizations. It is divided into five major sections: The clinical features of rabies (in humans and other animals) The epidemiology of rabies How to evaluate encounters with a potentially rabid animal Details about laboratory testing of animals in Washington

The Facts About... Rabies The epidemiology of rabies Rabies is a virus infection to which all mammals, including man, are susceptible. It causes an acute and almost invariably fatal infection of the brain. During the illness there are disturbances of behaviour which in some affected species, such as dogs, cause them to bite other animals and man. As rabies virus may be present in saliva, bites and licks can transmit the virus. The incubation period in man is usually three to eight weeks, but may be as long as two years. Early symptoms may include numbness around the site of the bite, fever, headache, and general malaise. Later symptoms may include muscle spasms and hydrophobia. In many parts of the world (but not in the British Isles, some other parts of Western Europe and Australasia) rabies is found in terrestrial wildlife species. In Asia, Africa and Central and South America it also commonly infects domesticated animals such as dogs and cats, but rabies in domestic animals is very rare in Europe and North America. Bites from any of these animals can transmit the infection to other domestic and farm animals, and man. Bats can also transmit rabies and rabies-like viruses. In those parts of Western Europe where rabies is present in wildlife, it mainly infects foxes. Strenuous measures to control European fox rabies, for instance by vaccine left in baits, has reversed the movement of fox rabies towards the Channel ports, while strictly enforced quarantine regulations continue to prevent the introduction of other infected animals into Britain. In spite of its endemicity in foxes, rabies is rare in other animals in Western Europe, and extremely rare in man.

67. Rabies Information on rabies prevention in pets. http://www.apapets.org/rabies.htm

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.

Answers to Questions About Bats and Rabies The following information was most recently updated on January 7, 1998. How dangerous are bats? Bat rabies accounts for approximately one human death per year in the United States. Thus, some people consider bats to be dangerous. Nevertheless, dogs which are equally often considered "man's best friend," attack and kill more humans annually than die from bat rabies in a decade. Statistically speaking, pets, playground equipment, and sports are far more dangerous than bats. Clearly, bats do not rank very high among mortality threats to humans. Nevertheless, prudence and simple precautions can save lives. What is rabies, and how is it transmitted? Rabies is an infectious viral disease that invades the central nervous system of humans and other warm-blooded animals. A wide variety of mammals can contract the disease, but it is most often noticed in dogs, cats, foxes, raccoons, skunks, coyotes, bats, and livestock. Worldwide, more than 30,000 humans die of rabies each year, 99% of cases resulting from contact with dogs. In the United States, due to highly successful dog vaccination programs, transmission from dogs is now rare, eliminating the vast majority of human cases. Rabies is nearly always transmitted by bite, though non-bite exposures can result from contact between infected saliva or nervous tissues and open wounds or mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, or mouth. Careless handling is the primary source of rabies exposure from bats.

Answers to Questions About Bats, Rabies, and Other Health Issues Rabies: Answers to Questions Rabies: History of U.S. Cases The following information was most recently updated on April 22, 2003. A Resolution Concerning Bat Bites and Rabies At the 29th Annual North American Symposium on Bat Research held at the University of Wisconsin in October 1999, Merlin Tuttle proposed a resolution concerning the responses to incidents of bat bites. After much discussion and careful review of this resolution the Board of Directors of the Symposium adopted the following resolution. Be it resolved on this 30th day of October 1999, that researchers gathered at the 29th North American Symposium on Bat Research find no credible support for the hypothesis that undetected bites by bats are a significant factor in transmitting rabies to humans, as implied by the January 16, 1998 issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. In our collective experience, bats seldom are aggressive, even when sick, and humans typically feel and recognize any bites they receive. The undetected bite hypothesis is derived from the inability of medical professionals to interview patients due to late moribund or postmortem diagnoses. In the rare cases in which humans contract rabies from bats, the available evidence strongly suggests that bite histories could have been remembered and reported by coherent patients. We are deeply concerned about the negative consequences of the undetected bite hypothesis, as it appears to have moved from hypothesis to fact without adequate testing. The consequences are both economic and social. The economic costs are clear, and the social impact is seen, both in the way that people react to bats and in the way that conservation efforts are impeded. The undetected bite hypothesis is not supported by evidence, and it should not drive public policy or public health responses.

This was Erica's senior class picture. She had it taken with her beloved pet, Aspen. Aspen died in December of 1998 to prove that he did not have rabies. Had there been an approved rabies vaccine and quarantine period in this country for skunks, Aspen would still be alive and well and brightening the Mills home. You can read Aspen's story on our background page. When you ask the average American what their thoughts are on skunks you get descriptions like: "Smelly, rabies carrying, pests." This statement, with its misconceptions and misinformation , could not be further from the truth! In fact, wild skunks prefer to avoid contact with humans and other animals. They are very quiet, non-aggressive, solitary creatures, willing to live and let live. It is true that they can spray, if they feel that they are in danger. It is also true that if one gets sprayed by a skunk, they stay "fragrant" for quite some time. Skunks do not want to spray, however, and give plenty of warning before doing so. They only spray as a very last resort. Skunks can contract rabies, and so can any other unvaccinated mammal. They are no more prone to rabies than any other mammal. Wild skunks are an important part of our ecosystem. They could be called "Nature's Sanitation Engineers". They rid the environment of rats, mice, cockroaches, harmful garden pests (snails, grubs, all insects, gophers, moles), even poisonous animals (rattlesnakes, black widow spiders, scorpions), and "road kill" (which can cause accidents and spread disease).

The highest risk countries for travelers include Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, India, Mexico, Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Viet Nam. In Thailand, between 200-300 human rabies deaths are reported annually with 95% due to dog bites. A survey of 1,882 foreign travelers in Thailand determined that 1.2% had a history of dog bite and 8.7% experienced a dog lick during their stay. Other animals that can spread rabies include bats, cats, skunks, racoons, foxes, jackals, mongooses, and wolves. It is recommended that all unvaccinated individuals with animal bites receive immediate treatment with human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) injected into and around the wound followed by rabies vaccination. Two types of rabies vaccine are now available. The original human diploid cell vaccine (HDCV) and a new purified chick embryo culture vaccine (PCEC). After exposure, five doses of either rabies vaccine must be given into a muscle (intramuscularly) over a one month period. While this treatment should be adequate to prevent the development of rabies, treatment can be simplified if rabies vaccine is given prior to exposure. Prior vaccination may also offer some degree of protection in cases when treatment after an animal bite may be unavoidably delayed.
