Clinton News-Record, 1959-02-26, Page 9Control of Rabies Important For Safety of Humans Although rabies is causing con- cern in- Ontario, it is significant that less 'than three percent of all confined cases last year were dogs. They were practically all farm dogs. Vaccinating dogs establishes a .buffer of immunity between in- fected wildlife and the human pop- ulation, explains an official of the Health of Animals Division, Can- ada Department of Agriculture. Many Vaccinations In recent months 95,000 dogs have been vaccinated at about 340 clinics throughout Ontario. Out of a total of 2,024 cases of rabies in Canada between April 1 and December 31 last year, only 57 were dogs—a mere 2.7 percent' There was not one case of transmission of rabies from dog to dog. Should rabies Tecome establish- ed among dogs, it would create a serious problem because of the possible exposure to humans. While vaccination is important in the fight against rabies, even more vital is the control of can- ine movement in affected areas— particularly strays. Quarantine Rules Health of Animals Division vet- erinarians quarantine dogs which have been bitten by other infected animals, such as foxes. Quaran- tining is authorized under the Ani- mal Contagious Diseases Act and imposes 'a six-month confinement. Owners are in!trticted to keep their dogs confined inside a build- ing away from all persons except those responsible for feeding and caring for them. If necessary the dogs should be tightly Secured. When dogs are badly bitten, own- ers are' urged to destroy them. "Vaccination is an efficient ad- junct, in the control of rabies," says one veterinarian, "but it is felt that the regulatory control Measures of dog quarantine play a vital part in rabies outbreaks."
