Rabies vaccine drop starts to show results HURON COUNTY - It's been 10 weeks since the 12,700 baits containing modified live virus rabies vaccine were 'dropped in the county. Since that time, staff from the Rabies Research Unit in Maple have been collec- ting carcasses and blood samples from the local trappers. Brain tissue, extracted from the carcasses, is frozen and sent to Agriculture Canada to be tested for the presence of rabies. The upper two canine teeth are extracted and sectioned. The sec- tions are placed under ultra -violet light in order to detect the presence of the trace ele- ment tetracycline, which indicates a bait has been eaten. This year it was determined that one fox ate at least one bait each day over a 15 day period, for a total of 15 baits at a minimum. Last year the most number of baits eaten by a fox was nine. The blood samples are received and are spun in a centrifuge to separate the serum. The serum is frozen and sent to the Univer- sity of Toronto to determine the presence and potency fit the varc Inc .n . at 1 1.1, ;,i tibodies. Over the period since the droll t estimated that nearly 1000 ca rea ,e • lter collected or turned in. These ern luded {oxc raccoons, coyotes and skunks -i apt e tr 7811 carcasses were turned in. The car(asse, came from both within the drop area, nn the periphery of the drop area and from just outside of the drop area. Analysis of these carcasses gives indicators of the animals migration habits in and out of the study area. This year, one oppossum was trapped, the first one ever to be trapped near Seaforth. it has not yet been tested for any indication of eating the bait. In 1984, within a 28 day period following the bait drop, 89 fox carcasses were turned in, 64 percent of them showing bait accep- tance. In 1985, within the same time period, 78 fox carcasses were turned in, 58 percent of them showing bait acceptance. From a biological point of view, this year's program can be deemed to be a success.
