Rabies Summary Division
August, 1998
Of the record 616 specimens received by the laboratory this month, 76 were positive for
rabies virus. These animals were from 55 towns in 11 counties and included 46 skunks,
19 raccoons, 5 bats, 4 cats, and 2 woodchucks. Animals submitted from Norfolk County
accounted for 21 of the 76 positive animals (27.6%). A positive raccoon from Ashfield
in Franklin County is the first positive submission from this town since the start of the
epizootic in 1992. This is the first new town to submit a positive animal since May1996.
Twenty-five human and 88 animal exposures resulted from encounters with the positive
animals. The cat from Canton was not vaccinated, while the vaccination status of the
stray rabid cats from Templeton, Fitchburg, and Medway were unknown.
Strain typing was completed for all positive skunks and woodchucks from June and July
with the exception of five skunks with insufficient specimen remaining after testing. Six
positive skunks from early August as well as a woodchuck from Hanson and a cat from
Templeton were determined to have the raccoon strain of rabies virus; results are pending
for the remaining positive animals from August.

September,1998
The lab received 402 specimens during September; of these, 71 of 383 specimens
satisfactory for testing were positive for rabies virus (18.5%). These animals were from
51 towns in 10 counties and included 46 skunks, 18 raccoons, 2 bats, 2 woodchucks, 2
cats, and 1 fox. The positive animals were distributed throughout the state, with seven or
more positive specimens submitted from six different counties. The brain from a kitten
from Beverly was formalin-fixed, precluding testing onsite. The CDC in Atlanta was
able to test this specimen and reported it to be positive. Brain samples from the mother
cat as well as two littermates were tested at MA SLI and found to be negative.
Thirty-four human and eighty-one animal exposures resulted from encounters with the
rabies positive animals. The vaccination status of both positive cats was unknown.
Strain typing was completed for all animals with results pending from August with the
exception of nine skunks with insufficient specimen remaining after testing. The animals
from August, as well as thirty-two positive skunks from the first half of September, a
woodchuck from Berkley, and a fox from Holyoke were determined to have the raccoon
strain of rabies virus; results are pending for the remaining positive animals from
September. Strain typing of the formalin-fixed brain from the positive kitten will be
performed by the CDC.
