Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - September 19, 1998, Winnipeg, Manitoba Manitoba rabies cases expected to double officials blame Boom in Skunk population for outbreak Nea Melita Killavey Interlake the number of confirmed rabies cases in Manitoba this year is expected to be twice As High As last year with hot spots near Melita Killarney and in the Interlake area. Skunks Are the main source of infection in Prairie provinces and its no coincidence that travellers Are complaining about the number of dead skunks on highways this summer. As Skunk populations hit the top of their Cycle so often do rabies cases. So far this year 93 cases of rabies have been confirmed but that represents Only the tip of the iceberg since diagnosis requires killing an animal and examining its brain. In Boissevain residents of the southwestern Manitoba town Are being warned about a Rabid Skunk population. Thirty skunks in the area have been found to be carrying rabies. Skunks account for 71 of the known rabies cases along with 11 cattle four cats two dogs two foxes a Bat a Badger and a Fisher fifty of the Rabid animals were found in the Melita Killarney and Interlake areas. In 1996, the rabies Cycle bottomed out with Only 24 confirmed cases said or. George Luterbach a veterinarian with the Canadian food inspection Agency. The Cycle last peaked in 1992 at 139 cases. Luterbach predicts this years total will be around 125. While Ontario has been Able to control rabies outbreaks by encouraging foxes to eat bait laced with vaccine there is no similar vaccine for skunks. Until one is invented government strategy focuses on preventing the disease from spreading to Domestic animals. Vaccinate pets pets should be vaccinated and Farmers should watch for signs their cattle have been bitten by Rabid skunks. Luterbach said cows May appear to be lame or Bellow until they Are almost hoarse. Parents need to remind their children not to handle wild animals he said. A they pick up probably a very innocent Little mouse and end up getting bitten and the animal runs away. There a always a dilemma then about whether or not the child should receive it has been about 10 years since a Canadian developed rabies thanks to effective pos exposure vaccines. The vaccines have Milder Side effects than those used in previous decades.
