Rabies, a dangerous disease Agriculture 'Canada's veteri- narians walk a tightrope in. deal- ing with rabies. They try to pre- serve a state of public awareness, a balance between apathy and panic. Rabies is a dangerous and deadly disease, says Dr. R. H. Best, a veterinarian with Agri- culture Canada's Health of Ani- mals Branch in Ottawa. There is no cure, he says, but it can be pre- vented. "Twenty Canadians in record- ed history have died of rabies," Dr. Best says.

The heads of animals deed or killed on suspicion of the disease are examined at Agriculture Cana- da's Animal Diseases Institute Laboratories. at r Ottawa, Leth- bridge and Sackville. "The disease now called rabies has been with mankind since the • dawn of time,".Dr. .Best says. "It is one of the few diseases of man and animals mentioned in the Bible. Its old name hydropho- bia—fear of water—comes from a common symptom in infected people. Paralysis of the throat . causes extreme pain when swallowing. Inability to swallow causes saliva to dribble from the' mouth. At times, animals will work the saliva into a froth by a nervous champing of the jaws. Infected cattle sometimes appear to be choking." The saliva of an infected animal may be loaded with the virus that causes rabies. In most cases, a bite from an infected animal introduces the infection into another animal or man. Once the virus gains entrance to the body of a healthy animal, it travels slowly along the nerve fibres toward the brain. The time it takes to reach the brain and cause symptoms of the disease is SPRING SPECIALS on HORSE CARE PORDUCTS * HORSE SUPPLEMENT + COMPLETE FEEDS * MARE + COLT FEEDS * *WORMER PELLETS * ORVIS * ZEY * HOOF OINTMENT * * WHITE LINIMENT * LEATHER & SADDLE SOAP * SHOW WHITE * * HALTERS AND LEADS * 15 % OFF ANY PURCHASE DURING MAY 291-3025 BOYD'S FIED MILL KURTZVILLE "FOR ALL YOUR FEED REQUIREMENTS"' 335-3055 believed to' depend on .the diST It has been rising gradually since tance of the bite from the brain, then. the strength of the virus and the Because dogsandcats bridge amount transmitted.

Man is responsible for the high skunk population, Dr. Best says. Their numbers used to be controlled by three factors— coyotes, the great horned owl and Prairie youngsters who trapped them for their hides. After the Second World War, coyotes were exterminated in many areas and young people stopped trapping • skunks for pocket money. With two of their controls removed, the skunks proliferated. Bats, especially those in the west, arealso infected • with rabies. Dr. Best says there is some evidence that bats carry the virus without developing symptoms. Some species of bats migrate and these may have come into con- tact with rabid vampire bats in Central and South America. The only cases of rabies found in Brit- ish Columbia -during the last fis- cal year (April 1, 1974 to March 31, 1975) were in four bats. Health of Animals Branch re- ported 2,185 cases of rabies in wild and domestic animals during the past fiscal year. This was 10 fewer than for the same period a year ago. Ontario topped the list with 1,404 cases. The record year for rabies in Canada was 1958-59, when 2,550 cases were 'reported. The inci- dence dropped dramatically to (398 in 1959=66and to 287 in 1960-61. specimens are examined in a laboratory," Dr. Best says. "However, if we know a few facts about the disease and take the recommended precautions, we will be able to protect ourselves and our pets against it." New flu theory from down under CANBERRA, Australia — Viruses causing influenza in animals do not directly infect humans and vice versa, but scientists associated with the microbiology department of the Australian National Uni- versity here, believe that flu epidemics stem from hy- bridization between animal and human influenza viruses. When animal and human viruses. interbreed, a com- pletely new virus is formed and natural resistance to pre- vious forms of the virus be- come of no account and vac- cines prepared to fight earlier versions of the virus also fail.
