The arctic fox variant of the rabies virus (RABV) is enzootic in the circumpolar north. Reports of abortive RABV exposures motivated a retrospective analysis of sera from 41 arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) captured at Karrak Lake in Nunavut, Canada, during 2011-15. Estimated RABV antibody prevalence among foxes was 15% (95% confidence interval, 7-28%).
北极狐变异狂犬病毒（RABV）在环极北方地区流行。有报道称，RABV 暴露无效，这促使我们对 2011 年至 2015 年期间在加拿大努纳武特地区的卡拉克湖捕获的 41 只北极狐（Vulpes lagopus）血清进行了回顾性分析。估计狐狸的 RABV 抗体流行率为 15%（95%置信区间，7-28%）。
