Rabies on the decline Reported cases of rabies in Huron County has declined sharply since last winter, Dr. W. Thompson district veterinarian said Mon- day. Late last winter there was increase in the number of rabies cases reported but since then there have been very few reports, he said. - Thompson -said- skunks - and foxes are the -major spreaders of the disease. If someone suspects a rabid animal has con- tacted a person or farm animal they should contact the Health of Aniinals Branch in Seaforth, he said. "We are only interested in specimens with which other animals are in- volved. It costs a lot of money to process specimens. If someone comes across a dead animal they 'suspect has rabies, but hasn't con- tacted anything else the - best thing they- can do is bury it," Thompson said. Another disease which has` •plagued Huron County in the past, Brucellosis is also on the decline the' district veterinarian said. The disease, known as undulant fever in man, causes abortions in cattle. If a farmer has a positive case on his farm, his livestock is quarantined and all the animals are tested. If the disease can't be eradicated, the entire herd may -have to- be ----- slaughtered. 9 "We are down to .only eight infected herds from a high of one time of 23. " Area obituaries MRS.
