How a fugitive raccoon on a truck from New York changed rabies in Halton Halton region reports highest ever human rabies encounters for 2017 ALEXANDRA HECK aheck@metroland.com Ontario was virtually free o f raccoon strain ra bies before 2015, when it's believed that a raccoon on a truck from New York brought the disease back. Since that time, rabies rates have spiked across the GTA, including Halton Region where public health officials received re ports of 1,118 human to ani mal exposures. When the report was brought to Halton Region council, staff said that the Aldershot area in Halton had the worst problem with raccoons. Since October 4, 2016, 15 raccoons and 11 skunks have tested positive for ra bies in Halton. Since the beginning of this year, there have been over 397 cases o f raccoon strain rabies across Brant, Haldimand, Halton, Ham ilton and Niagara. "Vaccination o f domes- tic animals is the single most effective measure for rabies prevention," reads the staff report send to council. The province stipulates that every cat or dog under three years o f age must have the vaccination. In Halton, Ministry of Natural Resource staff are continuing to disperse ra bies vaccine baits for rac coons in the area.
