Re: University of California Rabies Vignette
Feral hogs are getting this as well. Nutria is a rodent that is getting out of control and they carry it. And yet every time we hunt to reduce them some peta loser is there to cry about it. Been doing a lot of hog control in Texas and a couple of the ranchers have found rabid hogs and one was bitten by a rabid hog. We had a fox hunt a year ago here and all animals were tested and most had rabies. Rats, bats, racoons, nutria, bobcats, mountain lions, skunks, foxes, coyotes, wolves can be carriers so if you see them get the hell away. Armadillos have been proven to transfer leprosy and they carry rabies. Everyone that thinks wild animals are cute be warned they can kill you with a single bite and unless you kill the animal that bit you rabies shots may be in your future.

Re: University of California Rabies Vignette
I think it's most mammals that can carry rabies. Possoms/Opossoms generally do not carry/get the disease, because their body temperature is too low to sustain the virus. Some animals carry their own strain. I'm not sure if that means they just develop it, without being bitten by another animal - but it sounds like it.

Re: University of California Rabies Vignette
And the doctors doing the Tuskegee syphilis research allowed the black men who had the disease die, in the name of research. However, even at the time of the study, there was a cure for syphilis.  |
