http://www.animalhealthchannel.com/rabies/symptoms.shtml

Extractions: Once infection occurs, the rabies virus usually grows in the muscle tissue and goes undetected for several days or months. 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

Rabies Monograph - Introduction
rabies Prevention in Washington State A Guide for Practitioners. Throughouthuman history, few illnesses have provoked as much anxiety as has rabies.
http://healthlinks.washington.edu/nwcphp/rabies/

Extractions: June, 1998 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

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

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Since April 1991, when the terrestrial rabies epidemic reached Westchester County, over 3,500 residents have had to be immunized against rabies because of encounters with potentially rabid animals. To prevent deaths from rabies, the Health Department issues health alerts to the public about this invariably fatal disease and its prevention; offers annual clinics to ensure cat and dog immunizations; facilitates the testing of suspect animals; and provides immediate round-the-clock response and follow-up to every potential rabies incident in the County. Raccoon In Westchester County, the law requires that all cats and dogs to receive rabies immunization. The Department now provides rabies vaccination vouchers to assist in having pets immunized. The Department maintains a RABIES HOTLINE, (914) 813-5010, which residents may call to hear information about rabies and its prevention.
Answers To Questions About Bats And Rabies
Answers to Questions About Bats and rabies The following information was most recentlyupdated on January 7, 1998. What is rabies, and how is it transmitted?
http://www.batcon.org/rabies.html

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Languages Spanish Portuguese German Italian Danish Japanese Korean Arabic Time, Inc. Time.com People Fortune EW Stray dogs are the prime cause of rabies infections in Thailand By Staff and wire reports BANGKOK, Thailand Thailand plans to issue passports to dog owners who want to take their dogs to rabies-free zones in a bid to ensure the safety of tourists. So far only two islands in Thailand are declared rabies-free zones Koh Samui and Koh Samet. Koh Samui was chosen because it had not had a single report of rabies since 1985. All dogs are vaccinated against the rabies virus in the resort island. Passports would be valid for five years and include information on rabies vaccinations, record of ownership and a traveling record, a local Bangkok newspaper reported. Fifty people died of rabies in Thailand last year. This year 12 people have already died. Many of rabies victims get the disease from dog bites, especially from stray dogs. In Thailand, a predominantly Buddhist country, the killing of homeless dogs is generally opposed.

http://www.batcon.org/discover/rabies.html

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: 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: 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).

Extractions: RABIES What is rabies? CDC Rabies Web Page for Kids Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus that attacks the central nervous system. The virus is present primarily in the saliva, brain tissue and spinal fluid of a rabid animal. What animals can get rabies? Rabies can affect all mammals. Since 1995 in the United States, more than 7,000 animals per yearmost of them wildhave been diagnosed as having the disease. The disease is found in all states except Hawaii, as well as in Canada, Mexico and most other countries around the world. In Illinois, 101 animals were diagnosed with rabies from 1999 through 2003. Rabies is common in bats, skunks, raccoons and foxes, but the disease also has been found in deer and in large rodents, such as woodchucks. Cats, dogs and livestock can get rabies, too, if they are not vaccinated. Some animals, including chipmunks, gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rabbits, rats and squirrels, rarely get rabies. Birds, fish, insects, lizards, snakes and turtles never get rabies. Most of the recent cases of human rabies that have occurred in the United States have been caused by rabies virus from bats. In Illinois, rabid bats can be found anywhere. Awareness that bats can be a source of the rabies virus can help people protect themselves.
