Twenty-Eight Cases Of Rabies Found Heavy Demand
In Texas During Month Of December Seen For Rusk
Rent Property
A dangerous undercurrent of
rabies runs throughout the broad
range of Texas wildlife. The con-
dition while not new, could erupt
into a full scale epidemic in an
unguarded moment
Rabid wildlife species infect
dogs, and dogs infect other dogs
Therein lies the greatest source
of danger to humans.
Twenty - eight cases were diag-
nosed in State Health Department
laboratories durin? December. Ia
addition, six positive cases were
diagnosed in dogs by the El Paso
County laboratory.
The 28 cases we.v submitted
from 15 counties Included in the
total were 12 do>*s, 1! foxes, three
cats, and one bat and one coyote.
Jasper County in dtvp East Tex-
as was hardest hit. Situated in the
center of the rn st active f -cus of
wildlife rabies, the county report-
ed eight positive cases—six foxes,
one cat and one dog.
Cameron County at the south-
ern tip of the State was second
Bexar, Grayson, Hardin. Harris,
Hidalgo, Marion, Presidio, Tom
Green, Tyler, and Wichita Coun-
ties each had a single case.
There is general agreement am-
ong health and veterinary officials
that only a small fraction of the
actual number of cases is report-
ed. Thus, rabies in Texas is much
more prevalent than indicated by
heads submitted for the labora-
tory analyses.
Authorities also agree that we
need not tolerate the constant
threat of rabies provided we are
willing to take these three tried
and proved steps to erase it from
the Texas scene.
1. Enforced vaccination of all
dogs and cats. Some vaccines give
effective protection for a year.
Others, composed of egg-grown
live virus, may protect for as long
as three years without vaccina-
tion.
2. Adopt and enforce stringent
city ordinances against stray dogs.
Ownerless dogs — those without
licenses or vaccinations — should
be empounded.
3. Set up local programs of thin-

concern in Texas are foxes and

England and the Scandinavian
countries have taken these steps.

eases.
