Two raccoons imported from Florida by a North Carolina hunting club were diagnosed as having rabies by fluorescent antibody testing of brain tissue. Although dead on arrival in North Carolina, they could have infected other raccoons in the same shipment which had already been released into the wild. Raccoon rabies has become increasingly important in recent years, but this is the first documented report of rabies presence in hunter-purchased interstate shipments.
北卡罗来纳州一个狩猎俱乐部从佛罗里达州引进的两只浣熊,经脑组织荧光抗体检测被诊断患有狂犬病。尽管它们抵达北卡罗来纳州时已经死亡,但仍可能感染了同一批货物中已被放归野外的其他浣熊。浣熊狂犬病近年来变得越来越重要,但这是有记录以来首次报告在猎人购买的跨州运输货物中存在狂犬病。
