CDC: US Free of Canine Rabies
Posted on Sep 07, 2007
Reuters reports that the Center for Disease Control has announced a small victory over the fatal and untreatable rabies virus. No cases of canine rabies have been found in the United States since 2004.
The CDC emphasizes that this does not mean that the rabies virus has completely disappeared. The virus evolves to match the animal it infects. Dogs can still become infected with rabies when bitten by an infected raccoon, skunk, or bat, but can no longer catch the disease from another dog.
Worldwide, rabies kills 55,000 people a year, according to the World Health Organization.
