Zurich Citizens News, 1958-08-27, Page 3WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1958 Livestock Losses From Rabies Low, Despite Outbreaks While outbreaks of rabies have persisted in Ontario, this summer, loss of livestock has mot been as great as some reports would in- dicate, the 1 -knowable Douglas S. Harkness, Minister of Agriculture said today. All suspected cases of rabies tame referred to the Department's animal pathology laboratory tor confdruna:tion. In the past fiscal year, ending March 31, rabies in a .of Canada ,ciailrned 101 cattle, 10 horses, 14 sheep, four swine and otne goat. In the first quarter sof this fiscal year, the disease was cWfirmed in 77 cattle, three hones, 20 sheep and four swine throughout the country. =Mai Citizens NEWS PAGE TgR.EE The confirmed cases of rabies continue 1:a be predominantly in wildlife — particularly in foxes. These constitute 68 per cent of all eases ?In the last fiscal year, and the percentage is munnni,ng the same so far this year. The current outbreak of rabies in Ontario is the result of the nat- ural spread sof the disease in Wild, life frcxm the Northern Territories, where it was prevalent a few years ago but where at has now virtual - :by disappeared. While there is a continuing dan- ger of domestic animals contacting rabies from infected wildlife', the main threat both, to domestic ani- mals and to humans would be if •ra'bies became established in dogs. The department's major eWFfort in dealling with rabies has been in conducting widespread dog vaccin- ,ation clinics in the infected areas. Clinics are still being held in central and eastern Ontario. This program has been success- ful so far in preventing rabies in dogs thus reducing the hazard to humans. In the current outbreak, there have been no cases of hu- man infection.
