| human antirabies treatment in the united states, 1972. | data were examined on 965 persons treated in six states (delaware, florida, georgia, illinois, north dakota, and south carolina) and new york city in 1972 for possible rabies exposure. males 10-19 years were found to be the group at greatest risk, and exposures occurred most frequently during the warm months. dogs, other domestic animals, and wildlife were about equally responsible for human exposures in the six states, but 99% of the exposures in new york city involved dogs. antirabies postexp ... | 1979 | 432411 |
| surveillance and epidemiologic mapping of monoclonal antibody-defined rabies variants in florida. | brain tissues from 128 rabid animals from florida in 1987 and 1988 were analyzed with monoclonal antibodies and cases were mapped by species and antigenic variant. the single variant found in terrestrial animals was distinguished easily from the variety of antigenic variants identified for infected bats, and there was no evidence of transmission of rabies between bats and terrestrial animals. the raccoon (procyon lotor) appeared to be the sole maintenance source for terrestrial animal rabies in ... | 1990 | 2250324 |

| rabies surveillance in the united states during 1994. | in 1994, 48 states, the district of columbia, and puerto rico reported 8,224 cases of rabies in nonhuman animals and 6 cases in human beings to the centers for disease control and prevention. nearly 93% (7,632 cases) were wild animals, whereas 7% (592 cases) were domestic species. the total number of reported cases decreased 13.4% from that of 1993 (9,498 cases), with most of the decline resulting from 19.2% fewer cases of rabies in raccoons. two previously described epizootics of rabies involvi ... | 1995 | 7493894 |
| translocation of coyote rabies--florida, 1994. | translocation of a rabies variant from one area to another has been identified increasingly in the united states. during november and december 1994, rabies was diagnosed in five dogs from two associated kennels in florida; in addition, two other dogs being kept at one of the kennels died with suspected, but unconfirmed, rabies. rabies virus recovered from the five dogs was identified as a variant not previously found in florida but endemic in coyotes (canis latrans) in south texas. the suspected ... | 1995 | 7623760 |
| rabies surveillance in the united states during 1995. | in 1995, 49 states, the district of columbia, and puerto rico reported 7,877 cases of rabies in nonhuman animals and 4 cases in human beings to the centers for disease control and prevention. nearly 92% (7,247 cases) were wild animals, whereas 8% (630 cases) were domestic species. the total number of reported cases decreased 4.2% from that of 1994 (8,230 cases). most of the decline was the result of 17.1% fewer reported cases of rabies in raccoons in areas of the northeast, where rabies is now e ... | 1996 | 8960176 |
| rabies surveillance in the united states during 1996. | in 1996, 49 states, the district of columbia, and puerto rico reported 7,124 cases of rabies in non-human animals and 4 cases in human beings to the centers for disease control and prevention. nearly 92% (6,550 cases) were wild animals, whereas 8% (574 cases) were domestic species. the total number of reported cases decreased 9.6% from that of 1995 (7,881 cases). although much of the decline was the result of fewer reported cases of rabies in raccoons, fewer cases were also reported among most g ... | 1997 | 9412679 |
| multiple human exposures to a rabid bear cub at a petting zoo and barnwarming--iowa, august 1999. | on august 27, 1999, a black bear cub, approximately 5-6 months old, died after several hours of acute central nervous system symptoms; preliminary test results available on august 28 indicated the bear had rabies. the bear was part of the swenson's wild midwest exotic petting zoo in clermont, iowa (northeastern iowa). at the petting zoo, visitors fed, wrestled, and may have been nipped by the bear. the bear also was taken to an august 14 barnwarming at the tharp barn in holy cross, iowa (eastern ... | 1999 | 10499789 |
| oral rabies vaccine contact by raccoons and nontarget species in a field trial in florida. | rabies is enzootic in raccoons (procyon lotor) in the eastern united states. oral vaccination of free-ranging raccoons against rabies has the potential to control the disease in a principal reservoir and reduce the risk of rabies exposure among domestic animals and humans. free-ranging animal contact with baits containing a vaccinia virus recombinant vaccine expressing the rabies glycoprotein gene (v-rg) was monitored in pinellas county (florida, usa) from february through may 1997. bait contact ... | 1999 | 10574527 |
| human rabies--florida, 2004. | rabies is a viral infection of the central nervous system, usually contracted from the bite of an infected animal, and nearly always fatal without postexposure prophylaxis. in february 2004, a man aged 41 years died after a 4-day hospitalization in broward county, florida. a diagnosis of rabies was considered on the day before the patient's death; however, no antemortem samples were obtained for testing. in march 2004, postmortem samples of fixed brain material were sent to cdc, where laboratory ... | 2005 | 16094285 |
| rabies surveillance in the united states during 2004. | during 2004, 49 states and puerto rico reported 6,836 cases of rabies in nonhuman animals and 8 cases in human beings to the cdc, representing a 4.6% decrease from the 7,170 cases in nonhuman animals and 3 cases in human beings reported in 2003. approximately 92% of the cases were in wildlife, and 8% were in domestic animals (compared with 91% and 9%, respectively, in 2003). relative contributions by the major animal groups were as follows: 2,564 raccoons (37.5%), 1,856 skunks (27.1%), 1,361 bat ... | 2005 | 16379626 |
| the raccoon an emerging rabies host. | the geographic distribution of enzootic rabies in raccoons is currently limited to florida and georgia. the enzootic area has steadily expanded northward into georgia during the 1960's. an epizootic in a population of raccoons closely associated with the human residents of a small, off-shore island was investigated. forty-seven raccoons from the island were confirmed rabies positive by the state laboratory from january 22 to may 20, 1969. about 10 percent of the raccoons trapped during the peak ... | 1970 | 16512166 |
| genetic tracking of the raccoon variant of rabies virus in eastern north america. | to gain insight into the incursion of the raccoon variant of rabies into the raccoon population in three canadian provinces, a collection of 192 isolates of the raccoon rabies virus (rrv) strain was acquired from across its north american range and was genetically characterized. a 516-nucleotide segment of the non-coding region between the g and l protein open reading frames, corresponding to the most variable region of the rabies virus genome, was sequenced. this analysis identified 119 differe ... | 2011 | 21624778 |
| dogs entering the united states from rabies-endemic countries, 2011-2012. | international dog imports pose a risk because of the potential movement of disease agents, including the canine rabies virus variant which has been eliminated from the united states since 2007. us regulations require a rabies vaccination certificate for dogs arriving from rabies-endemic countries, but permit the importation of dogs that have not been adequately immunized against rabies, provided that the dogs are confined under conditions that restrict their contact with humans and other animals ... | 2015 | 25244531 |
