Rabies increase
in Huron; clinics
being planned
ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS PAGE 11
Confirmed cases of rabies in
animals increased markedly in
Huron County during the first
eight months of 1972, according
to Dr. W.J. Thompson, sub-
district veterinarian for the
federal department of agricult-
ure.
There were 52 confirmed
cases involving both domestic
and wild animals for the 1972
period, an increase of about
50 per cent over the same period
in 1971.
The confirmed cases show a
low incidence of rabies in dogs
and cats, which are considered
the animals presenting the
greatest risk to humans, Dr.
Thompson said. The 1972 posit-
ive cases included 16 cases in
foxes, 16 in cows, 13 in skunks,
four swine and one each in
dogs, bats and cats.
The animal health branch of
the department of agriculture
will hold a series of anti -rabies
vaccination clinics throughout
the county October 2 - 25.
During the past six years the
branch and the Huron County
health unit have sponsored free
anti -rabies vaccination clinics
for cats and dogs, which Dr.
Thompson said accounts for the
low incidence of rabies in these
animals.
Dr. Thompson said 6, 331
dogs and cats were vaccinated
by his department in 1971, an
increase of 953 over the prev-
ious year.
The anti -rabies clinics will
be held October 2, in Fordwich.
