| Zoonotic disease surveillance is typically initiated after an animal pathogen has caused disease in humans. Early detection of potentially high-risk pathogens within animal hosts may facilitate medical interventions to cope with an emerging disease. To effectively spillover to a novel host, a pathogen may undergo genetic changes resulting in varying transmission potential in the new host and potentially to humans. Rabies virus (RABV) is one model pathogen to consider for studying the dynamics of emerging infectious diseases under both laboratory and field conditions. The evolutionary history of RABV is characterized by regularly documented spillover infections and a series of notable host-shifts. Within this context, enhanced field surveillance to improve... |

| Clinical diagnosis of human rabies is challenging in the United States (U.S.) due to the rarity of human cases, non-specific symptoms, and infrequent attainment of a potential exposure history. The traditional presentations of rabies, furious and paralytic, are reported in regions of endemic canine rabies, but have not been systematically characterized among rabies cases in the U.S. This study aims to examine the clinical characteristics of patients in the U.S. that are associated with rabies to aid in diagnosis and surveillance. |

| Encephalitis is a severe neurologic syndrome caused by a variety of infectious and noninfectious pathologies. In many instances a definitive etiology of encephalitis is not identified, but a study of encephalitis in California found that 0.3% of cases referred for further evaluation to a specialized diagnostic facility (Glaser, Gilliam et al. 2003) was due to rabies. Under recognition of human rabies in the United States by healthcare providers may account for missed diagnoses of rabies. The purpose of this investigation was to estimate the number of encephalitis-related deaths in the United States and the proportion due to rabies specifically. We reviewed human mortality data in the United States between 1999-2008 and identified encephalitis-associated... |

| During 2011, 49 states and Puerto Rico reported 6,031 rabid animals representing a 1.9% decrease from the 6,153 rabid animals reported in 2010. Relative contributions by the major animal groups were as follows: 1,981 raccoons (32.8%), 1,627 skunks (27.0%), 1,380 bats (22.9%), 427 foxes (7.1%), 303 cats (5.0%), 65 cattle (1.1%), and 70 dogs (1.2%). Compared to 2010, a significant increase was reported among rabid skunks. Canine rabies virus transmission has been eliminated in the United States since 2004 and monitoring the rabies virus variant associated with rabid domestic animals is critical. We evaluated rabies diagnostic submission data for the US from 2008-2011 for reported rabid dogs, cats and coyotes. A total of 1,546 rabid cats, dogs and coyotes... |
