A report on an epidemic Of virulent
smallpox in one Of the southwestern
states, submitted to the surgeon general
Of the public health service by one Of
the officers Of that corps, sets forth with
renewed emphasis the role that domestic
pets may play in the TRANSMISSION of
disease, especially among children. The
instance cited was that of fatal case of
smallpox in an infant in arms
The nearest case Of the disease was
In house a block or so distant, and
although the two families had no So
c1al relations, this apparently did not de-
ter dog belonging to the infected fam
lily from dividing his attention impair
TALLY between the two homes, eating at
one place and sleeping at the other.
In no other way could the source Of
the Infection of the, baby be explained
than that the dog fonGled by the chill
dren of the smallpox family, carried the
virus of the disease to the neighbor's
baby. Similar instances have been noted
before In connection with smallpox trans
mission, and cats and doge have been in
eliminated as carriers Of plague-infectsd
heas-cases of bubonic plague so con
tracted having been observed by public
health service officers working in plague
epidemtcs
The same household pets also have
been charged in various instances with
the responsibility Of carrying the infec-
ton Of diphtheria, scarlet fever and other
communicable diseases OF childhood
disease that annually causes more
than one hundred deaths in this country
is rabies, and the role of domestic an
imals in spreading this disease is def
nitely proved, speculation or circumstan-
tial evidence being discarded.
Altogether, therefore, It is perfectly
evident that the citizen who keeps domes-
tic pets maintains at the same time q
very potential source of danger; a san
itsry menace to his own household and to
that Of his naighbor.
