These charts conclusively establish that the preponderance of rabies cases occur in urban areas and that the percentage between urban and rural areas is consistent.
This graph demonstrates the occurrence of reported rabies cases for each animal type and overlays such occurrences against the location of each incident. The graph clearly establishes, again, the overwhelming involvement of raccoons in rabies cases, as in every given year of the study, the number of cases attributed to raccoons out numbers the rest of the animal types significantly.
These two charts compare the number of reported rabies cases in the states of Florida and Georgia. They demonstrate that rabies in the state of Georgia are far more prevalent than reported cases in Florida. In both states, raccoons are the primary problem and by numbers that are more serious than the remainder of the animal types combined. Interestingly, dogs, which are traditionally identified with rabies, are responsible for fewer reported cases than cats. Cats are rarely identified with rabies but, in both Florida and Georgia, their reported numbers are far higher.
This chart compares the number of reported cases in four animal types in Florida and Georgia. It demonstrates that in three of the four animal types the numbers are relatively equal but...
The chart covers only four years and not the entire ten-year period covered in most of the graphs.
These charts provide a breakdown representing the percentage of cases involving the four largest number of reported cases by animal types in the peak years in the two individual jurisdictions under study. The percentage of raccoon involvement remains consistent, on a percentage basis, between the two jurisdictions. The percentages between fox and cats are inverted between the two states which may reflect the more rural nature of Georgia vs. Florida.
These graphs demonstrate the percentage of reported cases of what are presumptively the four largest animal types reported to be responsible for rabies cases in the two respective states in a given year. The purpose of the year chosen is not stated nor is its purpose. As in all the other graphs, raccoons remain the primary source of rabies cases.
The map demonstrates the number of reported rabies cases on a state by state basis for a speciific calendar year. The numbers reported are raw numbers and there is no breakdown as to animal types or location. The numbers also do not offer a comparison based on population density.
Rabies in Florida and Georgia
Jennings, Schneider, Lewis and Scatterday (1960) document the high prevalence of rabies virus present among gray foxes. They further document the fact that these rabid foxes were abundantly found near densely populated human settlements and reportedly attacked humans and other valuable livestock. Florida. Jennings, Schneider, Lewis and Scatterday (1960) however claim, that it is not possible to accurately determine the accurate percentage of deaths occurring due to rabid foxes
S. this has dramatically decreased incidences of the disease. Deborah Briggs, executive director for the Alliance for Rabies Control, reports that until now, no global coordinated effort has been exerted to help educate people in the world about rabies. Rabies "can be readily prevented through education, pet vaccination and increased human awareness about proper wound management and administration of rabies vaccination after an exposure has occurred" ("West Lafayette…," ¶ 7)
Man of the Crowd By Edgar Allan Poe (1840) The story significantly depicts not only the preoccupation of the 17th hundred London issues and a trend brought by the progressive industrialization of time, but speaks so much relevance in our modern time as well. The epigraph which sums up the very essence of the story explains the dynamic of a human being too busy to mingle with the crowd for fear of
Animal Rights Introduction to the ESA According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law (1996) the Endangered Species Act (ESA) obligated the government to protect all animal and plant life threatened with extinction. Included in this category are endangered species, which is defined as any species "which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range." Also protected are threatened species, which are defined as any species "which is
animals for testing [...] why we should use animals for testing. It will include arguments on why using animals for testing is a widespread and scientifically sound practice. The use of animals in testing has been going on for thousands of years, and has led to some of the most significant and live saving medical breakthroughs on the planet. Medical testing using animals should certainly be humane, but should
Safety and Health Issues in Meat Processing Industry In the meat processing industry, health and safety issues are of vital importance, in view of the several risks arising out of microbial contamination of meat and the occupational hazards faced by workers. Past experiences have shown that microbial reproduction in meat and meat products can reach alarming proportions traversing across countries and even continents. The infamous mad cow disease and the foot
