Rabies on the rise in Simcoe Rabies do not somehow fit into the lifestyle of suburbia 1986, nor do they seem like the type of thing that we expect to hear peo- ple talk about on the street. Bui, the number of reported rabie cases in Off to Indiana Simcoe County has in- creased over last year, by a large percentage, and the number of people concern- ed with the problem is growing.

FINAL CLEARANCE zynski of the Ministry of Natural Resources, animals are becoming "more and more urbaniz- ed,' and making their homes in places as diverse as sewers, ravines, cemetaries and under buildings. "As they come into the city, so do rabies move with them and the risk of rabies to humans in- creases." About 2,000 Ontarians are treated for rabies each year and over $20 million goes into the treatment, vaccination and research of the disease. Although rabies is most commonly associated with dogs, it has been found that skunks, red foxes and rac- coons are the breeds that pose the highest rabies risk. Although skunks are reported as the most im- portant rabies carrier in ur- ban areas, such as Toron- to where last year, almost 105 skunks were diagnos- ed as being rabid, foxes are the more important car- riers in rural areas. Bats have also been diagnosed as highly poten- tial rabies carriers all over Canada. Dr. Ben Van Toledo, of the Midland Veternary Clinic on Younge St. claims that the number of vaccines performed at his establishment have in- creased by 20 per cent over Leah sCoutigue SALE last year. He went on to say that this year holds the record for the number of vaccines performed. He said rabid foxes are mostly responsible for the high number of cattle with rabies. Although he could not pinpoint which animal he feels carries the most number of rabies, he recalls vaccinating cattle, from fox bites, more than any other species. Since the 1960's, the Ministry of Natural Resourses has been study- ing ways and means of controlling rabies. Recent studies have focused on the technology to control rabies. During the next year, the Ministry will be involved in four major studies as a result of the rise in rabies. A team of rabies specialists will capture twenty skunks in the Scar- borough area and test them for life patterns. They will monitor these skunks as to where they live and be vac- cinated before they are released. The other three studies will involve monitoring raccoons and foxes. Foxes which are major carriers of rabies in the rural areas are reported as having a high number of rabies in 1983. 735 cases of rabies were reported in that year.
