In Europe rabies is mainly carried by the fox. Rabies, or 'hydrophobia', is known as a disease that makes dogs sick and mad. Consequently, all dogs in many northern European countries are vaccinated against it. However, it can affect all warm-blooded creatures, including man. Rabies is caused by a virus, which, among other things, attacks the nervous system and is excreted later in the saliva. When an animal gets sick, it may start to bite. People are most often infected by the bite of a dog, bat or monkey. In Europe the virus is mainly carried by the fox.

From initial flu-like signs and symptoms, the illness can progress to convulsions, paralysis or breathing failure. Death can occur if you don't seek treatment immediately after exposure. Your risk of exposure to rabies in the United States is greater when you come into contact with a wild animal. Most rabies cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) each year occur in wild animals, including raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes. Domesticated animals such as cats, dogs and cattle account for less than 10 percent of reported rabies cases. Most pets and domesticated animals receive vaccinations against rabies. Human deaths from rabies average about three per year in the United States. Most of the deaths since 1990 have been associated with exposure to rabid bats.

(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.

108. CDC's Rabies Web Page That's Just For Kids Signs of rabies in animals. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/kidsrabies/Warning/warning.htm

Rabies in animals Animals with rabies may act differently than healthy animals. Wild animals may move slowly or act tame. Also, some wild animals, like foxes, raccoons, and skunks, that normally avoid porcupines, may receive a face full of quills if they become rabid and try to bite these prickly rodents. A pet that is usually friendly may snap at you and try to bite. There are two common types of rabies. One type is "furious" rabies. Animals with this type are hostile, may bite at objects, and have an increase in saliva. In the movies and in books, rabid animals foam at the mouth. In real life, rabid animals look like they have foam in their mouth because they have more saliva. The second and more common form is known as paralytic or "dumb" rabies. The dog pictured below has this type. An animal with "dumb" rabies is timid and shy. It often rejects food and has paralysis of the lower jaw and muscles. Signs of rabies in animals include: general sickness problems swallowing an increase in drool or saliva wild animals that appear abnormally tame or sick animals that may bite at everything if excited difficulty moving or paralysis death Animals in the early stage of rabies may not have any signs, although they can still infect you if they bite you. The incubation period is the time from the animal bite to when signs appear. In rabies, it is usually 1-3 months. But it can last as long as several years. Once the virus reaches the brain or spinal cord, signs of the disease appear.

110. Rabies What is rabies? The Two Faces of rabies. Rabid dogs have been feared for centuries, largely because rabies is usually fatal once clinical signs occurs. http://www.cah.com/library/rabies.html

Columbia Animal Hospital's What is Rabies? The Two Faces of Rabies The Wildlife Connection Vaccinate! When a Bite Occurs However, rabies is as preventable as it is dangerous. Widespread routine vaccination has dramatically reduced its threat within the domesticated dog population. (Transmission of rabies from dog to dog or from dog to human is extremely rare0. The virus still flourishes in wildlife, however, and this is no time for complacency. To keep their dogs (and cats) safe, owners must vaccinate their pets on schedule and prevent untoward interactions with wild animals. What is Rabies? The Two Faces of Rabies The Wildlife Connection Texas, New England, and other regions in the U.S. have responded to these outbreaks with trials of wildlife rabies vaccines. Because domestic animal vaccines have not been approved for use in wildlife, scientists are using specially engineered vaccines placed in oral baits to battle the disease in the wild. The targeted animals become immunized after they ingest the bait. Vaccinate!

Home About Us Help Us News ... Bat Shop Bats and Rabies FAQ Bat handlers should click here for FAQ on rabies vaccinations Do bats carry rabies? Some bats in Europe do carry a rabies virus called European Bat Lyssavirus (EBLV). This is different from classical rabies, which has never been found in a bat in Europe. In continental Europe, the recorded incidence of EBLV is low. There are two strains: EBLV1 and EBLV2. EBLV2 has been found only ten or so times across the whole of Europe, in pond bats (which are not found in the UK) and Daubenton’s bats. Do bats in the UK carry rabies? EBLV in bats is very rare in the UK. Over the past 15 years of surveillance by the Veterinary Laboratories Agency, with up to 200 bats tested each year for the live bat rabies virus, only two cases have returned positive results. Both of these cases, in 1996 and 2002, were Daubenton’s bats carrying EBLV2. The research in Scotland does not affect this statistic, as none of the bats tested positive for the active virus itself, just for the antibodies. The discovery of EBLV in UK bats does not affect the UK’s rabies-free status.

Rabies Series WHAT IS RABIES? Rabies is an acute viral disease that can be transmitted to humans by contact with the saliva of an infected animal. Human clinical rabies has a variable incubation period followed by a neurological illness that can lead to death. HOW IS RABIES TRANSMITTED? By the bite of an infected animal. (It should be noted that petting a rabid animal or contact with its blood, urine, or feces is not an exposure and does not require preventive measures.) By a scratch, abrasion, mucous membranes or open wound coming in contact with infectious material (i.e., saliva or neural tissue of a rabid animal.) By the airborne route. (There are a few documented cases of rabies being contracted in caves where bats reside and in laboratories that work with the virus.) By human-to-human contact (e.g., a corneal transplant from an unknown infected individual). WHICH ANIMALS TRANSMIT RABIES? In the U.S., (except Hawaii, which is rabies-free) consider the following as suspect: dogs, cats, ferrets, skunks, raccoons, foxes, most other carnivores and bats. Occasionally livestock and rodents such as woodchucks and beavers may be suspect; consult with local public health officials. Bites of squirrels, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, chipmunks, rats and mice almost never require anti-rabies post-exposure treatment. RABIES VACCINE There are three vaccines available to protect individuals against rabies, all considered equally safe and effective. The difference is in the virus strains and cell cultures used to prepare them.

We will attempt to provide our understanding of placement of skunks on the tree of life (evolutionary relationship to weasels and other carnivores), as well as the natural history and general biology of the various species of skunks. We also will try to provide information on how to deal with "problem" animals. We will provide our sources for the information either by referencing the scientific literature or web sites made available by researchers or organizations. The links on the left side of these pages point to the various topics related to skunk biology. This site does not offer information regarding pet skunks. If you require information on pet skunks please check out these links This site will be growing over the next few weeks and months (and years). We will be adding pictures and possibly video of various skunk species. Currently we are trying to compress the images to downloadable sizes (remember, we are biologists not web masters).

Most bats, however, do not carry rabies, and most of the bats tested for rabies in Washington are not infected. A healthy bat typically avoids any contact with humans or animals. Because rabies is a life threatening disease, caution must be taken when bats come into contact with humans or animals.

RABIES Epidemiology Rabies Vectors The Rabies Viruses Pathogenicity ... The Diagnosis of Rabies Rabies is a very old disease, perhaps as old as humankind. The word rabies has its origin in Sanskrit, 3000 years BC: "rabhas" means "to do violence". The Greek word for rabies,"lyssa" derives from the root "lud" which means "violent". The first description of the disease dates from the 23rd. century BC in the Eshuma Code of Babylon. Antiquity, did know rabies as well as the link between human disease and animals, especially dogs. But, it is a famous Italian scholar, Girolamo Fracastoro, born in Verona, who described the disease, which obviously he had seen in many patients, and its routes of contamination in 1530, i.e. 350 years before Louis Pasteur. In the 19th. century, canine or street rabies was a scourge everywhere, especially in Europe. Fear of rabies, related to the mode of contamination, the absence of any efficacious treatment, was almost irrational. Patients killed themselves or were killed when bitten by a dog believed to be rabid. In this world of irrational terror the first post-exposure treatment in 1885 gave Louis Pasteur an international aura that his previous major scientific works had not been able to provide.
