Cases of animal rabies Grandpuits
A case of animal rabies has been diagnosed in a dog to Grandpuits, in the department of Seine-et-Marne
"The Pasteur Institute has confirmed a case in a dog named Cracotte" with the analysis "showed a canine virus strain of Moroccan origin."
About 20 people identified as having been in contact with the animal, were directed towards a center to receive rabies, "if necessary", a preventive treatment. Toll free number: 0800 13 00 00.
Rabies is transmitted through bites, scratches and licking. It is fatal to humans if not treated before the onset of the first symptoms.
On Tuesday night, the prefecture of Seine-et-Marne announced that it had established a "perimeter of vigilance." A measure taken after an incident on February 18: a girl of 12 years was bitten in the hand by his dog, a staffordshire nine months which had to be euthanized on February 19. Autopsy results known Tuesday, have revealed the presence of the disease.
The death of another dog on January 5, also at Grandpuits, was deemed suspicious by the veterinary services. The period of risk of contamination of the animal, a black labrador cross-called Hurray, "would start on December 15, 2007 and end on February 19, 2008", it was clear from the same source.
A perimeter with 36 rural municipalities has been established, in which the owners of domestic animals are called to greater vigilance. They are invited to submit to a vet any pets (carnivore), which have signs of disease or die. Moreover, "any person who has been griffée, bitten, licked by a stray dog on the perimeter (vigilance) between late January and Feb. 19, 2008 is asked to contact" a number set up by the prefecture
