The XVI International Conference on Rabies in the Americas is being hosted by the CFIA from October 16-21, 2005. Rabies is a viral disease that attacks the central nervous system of warm-blooded animals, including humans. Once symptoms appear, rabies is always fatal in animals and people. In Canada the animals that most often transmit rabies are foxes, skunks, bats, and raccoons.

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.

What is rabies and how is it transmitted?
Rabies is a viral disease of the central nervous system that is almost always fatal once symptoms begin. The virus is found in the saliva of an animal with rabies and is usually transmitted by a bite or scratch. In Washington State, most cases of rabies in animals occur in bats. Most bats, however, do not carry rabies, and most of the bats tested for rabies in Washington are not infected. Because rabies is a life threatening disease, medical advice must be sought promptly if a bat comes into contact with humans or animals. Rabies may also be carried by other mammals. Wildlife most likely to carry rabies includes skunks, raccoon, foxes, and coyotes. Domestic animals such as cats, dogs, ferrets, horses, cattle, goats, and llamas can also get rabies, usually from the bite of a wild animal. A person bitten by a wild animal or domestic animal should seek medical advice to assess the risk of rabies and to get other needed treatment.

Rabies is an acute viral disease that can be transmitted from wild animals to unvaccinated pets and livestock, as well as to humans. It is caused by the rabies virus, which is present in the saliva of infected animals, and is transmitted through infected secretions (usually through the bite of a rabid animal). Once infection occurs, the virus spreads to the central nervous system and causes inflammation in the brain (acute encephalitis). Rabies is almost always fatal. Effective pet vaccinations, postexposure treatment for humans, and effective animal control have nearly eliminated rabies in dogs in the United States. In parts of the world where vaccinations and postexposure treatment are not available, rabies remains a serious health threat for animals and for humans. Rabies kills more than 35,000 people every year, mostly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Rabies is a disease, caused by a virus, that can infect all mammals, including humans. It is transmitted through contact with the saliva or nervous tissue of an infectious animalusually through a bite. If an exposed person or animal is not treated quickly, the virus may infect the person or animal and may result in death. Rabies is almost always fatal to animals and people once signs of disease appear. However, immediate treatment by a doctor after exposure, possibly including a post-exposure rabies vaccination, will prevent development of the disease. Rabies can infect any mammal. In North Carolina it is most common in raccoons, skunks, and foxes, and has also been found in dogs, cats, horses, cattle, bats, and other animals. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of animals found to have rabies in North Carolina. Because it can be fatal, rabies should be considered extremely dangerous. Therefore, it is important to prevent exposure to the rabies virus whenever possible. The best way to avoid rabies is to stay away from animals that appear sick or act oddly, and avoid contact with strange animals and wildlife. Since people's pets may be exposed to rabies when they come in contact with other animals, pets should be vaccinated by a veterinarian against the disease. To help protect people against rabies, vaccination of dogs and cats is required by law in North Carolina.

110. THE BIG SCAM--RABIES VACCINATION
A veterinarian exposes the facts on the big rabies Vaccination scam.
http://www.naturalrearing.com/ARTICLES/GuestAuthors/RABIESSCAM.html
THE BIG SCAMRABIES VACCINATION
By: Dr. John Fudens, D.V.M.
I would like to give you, the reader, the truth about the so called required vaccinations, particularly rabies. There are two basic forms of law. One is the legal Constitutional and Common law that this country was founded on, and the other is "colorable" law passed by Administrative agencies/bureaucrats who have been given so called authority to pass laws. Black's Law Dictionary 5 th Edition defines colorable law as "That which is in appearance only, and not in reality, what purports to be, hence counterfeit, feigned, having the appearance of truth." Yes, I study the law, am a paralegal, and have an extensive law library. So any and all mandatory rabies vaccination programs are colorable law, in that they have been passed and mandated upon the pet owning public by certain vested interest groups. Who are these groups? First and foremost are veterinarians, in general, and veterinarian medical organizations. Second are the local animal control personnel, bureaucrats and politicians. What are their reasons? GREED, POWER AND CONTROL. Both these large powerful interest groups stand to benefit greatly by having rabies mandated by colorable law. Veterinarians receive a large percentage of both their gross income and profit from vaccines given in the office. On average vaccines cost 60 to 95 cents per dose and are charged to the client at $15 to $25 per injection and substantially more in the large cities. Therefore, if veterinarians lobby to have a colorable law passed to give rabies vaccine every year that enhances their financial picture.

112. Science News Online (8/8/98): DNA Vaccines For Rabies, Rotavirus Advance
Although a preventive human vaccine against rabies exists, it is expensive and so is usually The DNA encodes a glycoprotein found on the rabies virus.
http://www.sciencenews.org/pages/sn_arc98/8_8_98/fob3.htm
August 8 DNA vaccines for rabies, rotavirus advance By N. Seppa T "This shows us that a new generation of vaccine technology is working its way forward," says Bruce G. Gellin, an epidemiologist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. DNA vaccines deliver genetic material encoding compounds designed to alert the immune system to an invading virus. Although a preventive human vaccine against rabies exists, it is expensive and so is usually given only to veterinarians and researchers working with animals. Scientists at Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Mont., which is part of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, have now developed a DNA vaccine at a fraction of the current vaccine's cost. The DNA encodes a glycoprotein found on the rabies virus. In a test on 12 cynomolgus monkeys, the DNA vaccine proved as effective as the commercial one. Eight monkeys received the new vaccine, two were given the standard vaccine, and two remained unvaccinated. After initial vaccination, the two with the standard vaccination showed higher antibody levels than the DNA vaccine group. After a booster shot 6 months later, all those receiving either of the vaccines showed stronger immunity, the researchers report in the August Nature Medicine Seven months after the booster, the monkeys were infected with rabies. All 10 of those that had been vaccinated survived; the two controls died.

115. Goat VAccine Trial - Cornell Veterinary Medicine
Campaign to provide rabies protection to goats.
http://www.vet.cornell.edu/public/goatvaccine/
There are more than two million goats in the United States. However, there is no licensed vaccine in the US to protect goats from rabies. To provide some level of protection, many goat owners can now have their veterinarian vaccinate their goats using a rabies vaccine labeled for use in other species. But these vaccines are not officially approved for goats. Boards of health and fair boards in many communities do not recognize goats as being vaccinated for, or safe from, rabies - whether or not they have been vaccinated with an unapproved rabies vaccine. As a result, some localities across the country have banned contact between goats and the public - during farm tours, at county and state fairs, and at
petting zoos. How Goat-Lovers Can Help! Many Thanks to our Supporters! Research goats eating their grain. A Possible Solution - get goats on the label The Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine collaborated with an established vaccine manufacturer to seek United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approval to extend the label of their currently licensed livestock rabies vaccine to include goats. This effort was generously supported by the goat industry, goat owners and goat lovers and the Department of Agriculture and Markets of the State of New York. The aim of all involved was to protect goats and the public against rabies. The vaccine trial was conducted in 1999 and 2000. If it had been successful, the next step would have been to apply for official licensure and approval for use of this vaccine in goats.

This page was reviewed or revised on Tuesday, June 07, 2005. Rabies is a virus that is carried in an animal's saliva. Humans and other animals can become infected through a bite or scratch from an animal with rabies, or if the rabies virus comes in contact with an open cut or the moist tissues of the mouth, nose or eyes. Rabies is fatal if untreated. Most of Canada's rabies is carried by wildlife. This makes control difficult and eradication almost impossible. Foxes, skunks, bats and raccoons are the main carriers and pose a continuing threat because they often live close to people. If they infect your farm animals or pets, they may endanger you.
Tips for Preventing Rabies
  • Keep your pets under control. Don't let them run free, especially at night.

    Rabies Information
    Although bat strain rabies has been known to exist in Massachusetts since the 1960's, a small bat population in the state and infrequent exposures limited the need for widespread awareness and control. The raccoon rabies epidemic beginning in 1992 posed new problems for public health officials. Since raccoons are so prevalant in rural and suburban areas, the potential for a large number of human and domestic animal exposures rose. Rabies is a viral disease that can affect all mammals, including humans. The virus attacks the central nervous system and can be secreted in saliva. Because rabies affects people as well as animals, control of this disease has become a top priority for the Bureau of Animal Health. With the cooperation of the Department of Public Health and the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, every angle of potential rabies exposures gets covered in order to prevent further rabies infections.

Louis Pasteur
Chemist Chance favors only the prepared mind.
Louis Pasteur
was born on December 27, 1822 in Dole, in the region of Jura, France. His discovery that most infectious diseases are caused by germs, known as the "germ theory of disease," is one of the most important in medical history. His work became the foundation for the science of microbiology, and a cornerstone of modern medicine. Pasteur's phenomenal contributions to microbiology and medicine can be summarized as follows: First, he championed changes in hospital practices to minimize the spread of disease by microbes. Second, he discovered that weakened forms of a microbe could be used as an immunization against more virulent forms of the microbe. Third, Pasteur found that rabies was transmitted by agents so small they could not be seen under a microscope, thus revealing the world of viruses. As a result he developed techniques to vaccinate dogs against rabies, and to treat humans bitten by rabid dogs. And fourth, Pasteur developed "pasteurization," a process by which harmful microbes in perishable food products are destroyed using heat, without destroying the food. Pasteur was a thorough, highly intuitive researcher who always considered the wider ramifications to his work. While he revered science, Pasteur always believed that there were spiritual values that transcend it. Pasteur was also a capable public speaker, often defending his positions on various controversies with eloquence.
