How to prove an animal does NOT have rabies…..
Quarantine (dog, cat, or ferret)
![Page 3: RISK ASSESSMENTS AND PRECAUTIONS OF DISEASES SHARED BY PEOPLE AND ANIMALS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568149bb550346895db6f29c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Transmission of the rabies virus is via the saliva
• Important fact in dogs, cats, and ferrets—
Animal will not have virus in its salivary glands for more than 5-6 days before showing some other sign of being ill.
Therefore……quarantine for 10 days
![Page 4: RISK ASSESSMENTS AND PRECAUTIONS OF DISEASES SHARED BY PEOPLE AND ANIMALS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568149bb550346895db6f29c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How to prove an animal does NOT have rabies…..
Quarantine (dog, cat, or ferret)
Lab testing
![Page 5: RISK ASSESSMENTS AND PRECAUTIONS OF DISEASES SHARED BY PEOPLE AND ANIMALS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568149bb550346895db6f29c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Bite victim should……
• Find the animal
Animal control can help
Do NOT shoot in the head
![Page 6: RISK ASSESSMENTS AND PRECAUTIONS OF DISEASES SHARED BY PEOPLE AND ANIMALS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568149bb550346895db6f29c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Incubation Period
• Variable– 2 weeks to several months
• Quarantine period (dog or cat)
– 10 days

Treatment
– Wash wound immediately– Consider post-exposure prophylaxis
Not a foregone conclusion
Rarely an emergency

James – Enforcement of the safeguards by USDA, as you have discussed; the slaughter surveillance in testing of cattle brains by USDA; and no evidence of BSE in the US, reduce consumers’ concern of exposure to BSE by consumption of beef in the US.
