Bulletin #7128
What Is Rabies"
Rabies is a viral disease of the central nervous system
				  (brain and spinal cord) that is almost always fatal. Rabies in humans is very
				  rare in the United States, but rabies in animals, especially wildlife, is
				  common in some parts of the country.
What Kinds of Animals Spread Rabies"
The rabies virus can infect any mammal (if it has fur or
				  hair, it's a mammal), but infection is most common among bats, skunks, fox, and
				  raccoons. Rabies is very rare among rodents (squirrels, rats, mice, and
				  chipmunks). Thanks to vaccines, rabies is extremely rare among pets and farm
				  animals. However, a horse in southern Maine was confirmed rabid in January
				  1996.
How Common is Rabies In Maine"
Since 1994, rabies has increased dramatically in Maine. In
				  1995, 101 cases of rabies were clinically confirmed. These cases were
				  concentrated in southern Maine, but rabies has the potential to spread to other
				  areas of the state.
