Nine percent of 198 serum samples from striped skunks, Mephitis mephitis (Schreber) from five areas of Alberta were positive for rabies neutralizing antibody. Positive samples were minimal (2%) from specimens sampled in an area enzootic for rabies and occurred at greater rates in areas negative for skunk rabies. Transmission of rabies virus to skunks may have been from a source other than skunks in those areas, most probably from bats.
来自阿尔伯塔省五个地区的198份带纹臭鼬（Mephitis mephitis (Schreber)）血清样本中，9%的样本狂犬病中和抗体呈阳性。在狂犬病地方流行区采集的样本中，阳性样本最少（2%），而在臭鼬狂犬病阴性地区，阳性样本出现的比例更高。在这些地区，狂犬病病毒可能是从臭鼬以外的来源传播给臭鼬的，很可能是来自蝙蝠。
