Eighty cases of rabies in skunks (Mephitis mephitis) occurred in southern Alberta between December 1, 1979 and December 31, 1981. Fifty-three percent (43-80) were diagnosed during March-May (breeding and parturition). There were significantly more rabid females than males during that period. Nonrabid and rabid skunks appeared to select occupied sites rather than unoccupied sites for winter and maternity denning.
1979年12月1日至1981年12月31日期间，艾伯塔省南部出现了80例臭鼬（臭鼬属）狂犬病病例。其中53%（43 - 80）的病例在3 - 5月（繁殖和分娩期）被诊断出来。在此期间，患狂犬病的雌性臭鼬明显多于雄性。未感染狂犬病和感染狂犬病的臭鼬在选择冬季和产仔洞穴时，似乎都更倾向于已被占据的地点而非未被占据的地点。
