Abstract
Rabies has been reported for at least 2,000 years (1; Wilkinson, this volume). It occurs on all the continental land masses except for Australia and Antarctica (2). It affects a wide variety of mammals including the carnivores, ungulates, rodents and bats. The canids are most commonly involved both as victims and vectors. Rabies has killed humans throughout its history but today, especially in western countries, the disease is more of a threat than a killer. Nevertheless it can be a significant economic problem. In Ontario, for instance, rabies costs over $20 million per year from compensation costs, pet vaccinations and the yearly treatment of over 2,000 exposed persons (3).
