Rabies surveillance in the united states. The most recent report entitled Rabies surveillance in the United States during 2018 external icon contains the epidemiologic information on rabies during 2018. During 2018 54 jurisdictions reported 4951 cases of rabies in animals and 3 cases in humans to CDC.

The number of rabies-related human deaths in the United States declined during the twentieth century from more than 100 annually in the early 1900s to just one or two per year since 1960.
This decline can be attributed to successful pet vaccination and animal control programs. The number of human rabies deaths in the United States has been steadily declining since the 1970s thanks to animal control and vaccination programs successful outreach programs public health capacity and laboratory diagnostics and the availability of modern rabies biologics. Yet each year hundreds of thousands of animals need to be placed under observation or be tested for rabies and.

Massachusetts 57 cases New York City 41 cases and New Hampshire 10 cases became new additions to the epizootic in the Northeast with Maine Rhode Island and Vermont the only states in the region without cases associated with the raccoon.

Rabies continues to be a priority zoonotic disease for One Health collaboration 17 requiring multi-agency cooperation to ensure continued success of the US. Three states Rhode Island 1432 Massachusetts 772 and New Hampshire 694 reported increases of 50 during 1998 compared with totals reported for 1997. In Texas the number of cases of rabies associated with enzootic canine variants of the rabies virus remained greatly diminished.
However overall totals of reported cases of rabies increased in Texas and 12 other states where skunks are the. DESIGN Observational study based on passive surveillance data. ANIMALS All animals submitted for rabies testing in the United States during 2016.
PROCEDURES State and territorial public health programs provided data on animals submitted for rabies testing in 2016. Data were analyzed temporally and geographically to assess trends in domestic and sylvatic animal rabies cases. RESULTS During 2016 50 states and Puerto Rico reported 4910 rabid.
To describe rabies and rabies-related events occurring during 2018 in the United States. All animals submitted for laboratory diagnosis of rabies in the United States during 2018. State and territorial public health departments provided data on animals submitted for rabies testing in 2018.
Data were analyzed temporally and geographically to assess trends in domestic. Among those states that have engaged in extensive wildlife rabies control programs no cases of rabies associated with the epizootic of rabies in raccoons or in any other terrestrial species were reported in Ohio compared with 6 cases reported in 1999. No rabies cases associated with the dogcoyote variant compared with 10 cases in 1999 including 5 in dogs were reported in Texas and cases associated.
The United States remained free from dog-to-dog transmission of canine rabies virus variants. Total number of rabid dogs reported decreased 194 in 2008 compared with 2007. Two human rabies cases were reported from California and Missouri during 2008.
The California case involved a recent immigrant from Mexico and was attributed to a newly identified rabies virus variant most likely associated with Mexican free-tailed bats. The case in Missouri was attributed to a rabies. Human rabies cases in the United States are rare with only 1 to 3 cases annually while tens of thousands of lives are saved each year through organ donation programs.
