Number of rabies cases in NC continues to climb
(Editor’s Note: The following
information is being provided

Chowan County Extension Di
rector Mike Williams.)
Rabies, a deadly disease, is
making a comeback. In the
1950s this fatal virus, which
j infects warm-bloooded ani
mals including humans, rea
ched epidemic proportions
among dogs in the United
States. The movies “Old Yeller”
anjd “Cujo” vividly portray the
fear caused by this disease.
' Widespread pet vaccinations
' greatly reduced rabies among
domestic dogs and cats.
Now rabies is spreading rap
idly among wild animals, espe
cially raccoons.
“Rabies cases in North Caro
lina have almost doubled each
year since 1990,” according to
.■ ;
North Carolina Public Health
Veterinarian Lee Hunter. “We
had 106 confirmed cases ir
1993, and 879 in 1997.”
Rabies virus is “shed” in sa
liva and usually transmitted
through bites, sometimes by
skin or mucous membrane con
tact with saliva of an infec
tious animal. Many animals car
incubate rabies for weeks or
months without showing signs
Clinical signs of rabies may
include behavioral changes
such as nervousness, hiding
incoordination, irritability, pa
ralysis, frenzied aggression
and foaming at the mouth. Once
signs of disease appear, death
usually follows within days.
In North Carolina, raccoons
are the animal most commonly
diagnosed with rabies, but
skunks, foxes, and bats account

for a significant number of
cases as well. All mammals can
be infected with rabies and
result in a risk to human health
by exposing people to the vi
rus.
Though only a few people
each year die from rabies in
the United States, rabies virus
associated with bats accounts
for a large percentage of those
deaths. Bat bites may not be
noticeable, so anytime a bat is
found in a room with a sleeping
or intoxicated person, a pet, a
young child, or anyone unable
to positively exclude any bat
contact, the bat should be safely
captured and tested for rabies.
The exposed person shoulc
contact their physician oi
county health department tc
discuss the possible need for
rabies treatment. v
Rabies in wild animals is
“spilling over” to the pet popu
lation, resulting in greater
numbers of infected dogs and
cats. Therefore, it is important
to follow North Carolina law
and have your dog or cat vacci
nated against rabies. Vaccina
tions of pets and livestock is
done to protect people.
During the past decade there
have been several horses diag
