SPECIAL INTEREST
Rabies suspected in 4 raccoons and 1 gray fox in Michigan
(2008)
WDB Marks conducted the direct rapid immunohistochemical test
(DRIT) on brainstems collected from these animals displaying signs of
a neurological disorder. These animals were submitted as a result of
efforts to increase rabies awareness in those that might receive calls
from the public. All samples tested negative.
