Which Animals Carry Rabies? Who Gets Rabies? Symptoms of Rabies in Humans ... References A Case Study In September 1995, a 27-year-old farm worker in California died of rabies from a suspected occupational exposure. He worked in a packing shed where a colony of bats lived on the roof and entered the packing shed through an opening in the wall. Daily, the worker was exposed to bats by walking through the packing shed. On one occasion, a bat actually landed on the worker's chest. The worker's first symptoms included a sudden onset of nausea, vomiting, and headache, and later a fever. Soon he became agitated and delirious, requiring restraints. He went into a coma and died a short time later. Because of his known exposure to bats, rabies was suspected from the beginning, but he was not given post-exposure rabies prevention measures because such treatment is not effective once clinical symptoms have started. Who is at Risk?

Bats and Rabies What is rabies? Rabies incubation in humans is anywhere from 10 days to several years. Rabies is a virus that any mammal can contract. In almost all cases the virus is passed on through a bite from the infected animal. Rabies is a potentially fatal disease unless treated quickly. There are many rumors about bats and rabies, one of these rumors is that all bats carry rabies. Bats are NOT carriers of rabies, they can get rabies, but they die of it just like any other animal. In 1995 over 1,000 people died of Malaria, a virus transmitted by mosquitoes, the very things that bats eat and therefore, protect us from. Bats are very advantageous in this way, one bat can eat roughly 600-1,000 mosquitoes and other insect pests each HOUR in our backyard. With the facts about bats stated as well as their benefits, it is true that wild animals can be potentially dangerous if handled. If a person finds a bat the best thing to do is just leave it alone. Although bats do not attack people they will bite if touched. Most often when people have been bitten by bats it is because they have either consciously or unconsciously touched the bat. The easiest thing to keep in mind is to never touch any wild animal. All wild animals will bite if they feel threatened. If you have been bitten by an animal, try to capture the animal to have it tested for rabies by your local health department. The animal, bats included, should be tested that very day, insist on it! If you can not catch the animal go to the emergency and ask for rabies post exposure shots, again insist on it. This is very important, you do not want to wait for more than 2 days, especially if the bite was close to the head.

Rabies and Feral Cats Facts and Control Much of the U.S. is currently experiencing a wildlife rabies epidemic. Wildlife managers, animal control agencies and the animal protection community face important decisions on how best to control this disease. Feral cats are all too often caught in the middle of misguided efforts to protect human health by exterminating wild, feral, and stray animals. These efforts are not only cruel, but ineffective, costly, and difficult to implement. Alley Cat Allies promotes compassionate non-lethal solutions to problems resulting from human/wildlife interactions. Scientific evidence from around the world confirms the long term viability of non-lethal population and disease control through sterilization, birth control, and oral vaccination of wildlife. These methods represent an effective and humane approach to the rabies epidemic. Rabies and Humans Rabies is an acute viral infection of the central nervous system. Of all the zoonotic diseases,(1) it is one of the most feared and misunderstood even though its threat to humans in the U.S. is very small. Left untreated, rabies is deadly, producing excruciatingly painful symptoms and usually fatal. Media accounts also tend to sensationalize and reinforce popular misconceptions. Much unnecessary anxiety and fear could be relieved by understanding that rabies in the U.S. is primarily a disease of wildlife which can be controlled, and its threat to humans and companion animals minimized. Most cases are transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. All animal bites should be immediately flushed and cleansed with soap and water, then given prompt medical attention. Rabies is treatable when caught early, before symptoms appear. Exposure risk can be further minimized by following a few simple precautions.

Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheet Veterinary Preventive Medicine 1900 Coffey Road, Columbus, OH 43210 Rabies Prevention in Livestock VME-1-97 William Shulaw, D.V.M. Randall E. James, Ph.D. Rabies is a viral disease of the central nervous system of mammals. The infection creates a progressive inflammation of the brain. In the United States, the primary reservoir for the virus is in wildlife; domestic animals are usually exposed by contact with infected wild animals. Bats, skunks, and foxes are the usual culprits for spreading infection in Ohio. In recent years, raccoons in the eastern United States have been severely affected by the rabies virus. This epizootic (epidemic) is slowly spreading toward Ohio. Several counties in Pennsylvania and West Virginia that border Ohio have diagnosed raccoons with rabies. A cat and two raccoons with the raccoon strain of the virus were found in eastern Ohio in early 1996. Humans can contract rabies from wildlife or domestic animals. In 1994, four of 2,855 specimens submitted to the Ohio Department of Health were diagnosed positive for rabies. In 1995, 10 bats, one horse, and one fox tested positive, and as of June 1996, one bat, two raccoons, one cat (raccoon strain) and one fox were found positive. In 1995, 20 people received post- exposure treatment after exposure to bats; two others received treatment because of exposure to the horse. How is rabies spread?

From initial flu-like signs and symptoms, the illness progresses to convulsions, hallucinations, paralysis or breathing failure and almost always death once the infection is established. It's important to 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 and foxes. Infected bats have transmitted most of the recent rabies cases in people in the United States. Domesticated animals such as cats, dogs and cattle account for only a small percentage of reported rabies cases. Most pets and domesticated animals receive vaccinations against rabies.
