Ohe Of the inest recent victims
of the disea.Se in Canada is the
big brown bat CL. fuscuS) say
researchers. Dr, 31iPhei Beaure•
gara and 4. 0. Ste)VArt, of the
federal Animal Disease Research
Institute at Hull, Queb.
Two incidents, similar in nature
but Miles apart, drew the attention
Of veteritiaria,ns to the latest
threat.
me first occurred in Dritish
Columbia in 1957 when a child
Was bitten by a brown, bat. The
bat Was captured afterwards and
laboratory tests showed, that it
was infected with rabies virus.
The second occured in 1961 in
Onitario and agaiin invoWed
child being bitten by a bat. Testa
show;ed that it, was infected, thus
confirming the presence of rabies
in bats in. Aastern Canada.
The findings resulted in all
‘bats becoming suspect. From
August 1961, to August 1963, 72
bats from 24 Ontario counties
were tested at the Institute's
rabies laboratory. Five -- from
'widely separated counties were
found to be infected.
How the insect-eating' brown
bat of Canada picked up the
disease is not yet hilly under-
stood, according to the research-
ers. Unlike other species which
congregate in caverns and similar
places, it leads a rather solitary
life, preferring the seclusion of an
attic. Nor is there any apparent
connection between rabies in the
larger fauna of Canada and the
occurrence of the disease In bats, 4•1=1•10.••••=••••••••
A likely answer, they believe,
;lies in the fact that a few big
brown bats migrate ior cue winter
to the southern. United States
where they may come in contact
with other insectivorous bats,
carrying the disease.
Rabid bath are much more ciam,
mon in. the United 'States than in
this country.
Since 1953, when the rabies
virus was found for the first time
in bats, more than 600 cases lit
42 states haVe been disdOyered.
The inefcted bats belonged to 25
of the 36 insectivorous species /4
known to exist in the U.S.
The occurrence of rabies in
bats can mean the spread of the
disease in Canada. Although the
infection of bats by skunks and.
,foxes is unlikely, the transinn-
Sion of the Virtis to animals by
infected bats is possible - and
even probable.
Another very real danger posed
by the bats is to man himself, and
the peril is accentuated by the
bats' tendency to settle in attics
and around dornier WindOWS of
homes. 141 /4ONOVer, bats eat carry
