加州今年狂犬病动物达368只创28年新高：蝙蝠占344只 美国疾控中心已发全国健康警报
Sacramento — 加州公共卫生部（CDPH）的初步统计显示，2026年1月1日至10月14日，全州共确认368只感染狂犬病的动物，创下28年来的新高。其中蝙蝠344只、臭鼬21只，另有猫、狗和浣熊各1只。今年8月底时，全州数字为252只。上述数字均为初步统计，会随各实验室报告继续更新。
这一上升并非加州独有。美国疾病控制与预防中心9月10日发布了全国健康警报；据《Sacramento Bee》报道，今年7月至8月，美国狂犬病相关咨询量比2025年同期高出17%，狂犬病疫苗需求约上升33%。自1980年以来，加州共有17人感染狂犬病，最近一例出现在2024年。
在县一级，本站此前已报道，洛杉矶县今年检出的狂犬病蝙蝠数量已创该县纪录。州卫生官员表示，公众应避免触碰野生动物，尤其是落在地上或进入屋内的蝙蝠；应封堵蝙蝠可能钻入房屋的缝隙，并按时为宠物接种狂犬病疫苗；发生任何可能的接触后，应立即向医护人员咨询。狂犬病一旦出现症状几乎总是致命，但暴露后及时处置可以预防发病。

California's Rabid Animals Reach 368, a 28-Year High: Bats Account for 344 as the CDC Issues a Nationwide Health Alert
SACRAMENTO — Provisional figures from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) show that from January 1 to October 14, 2026, a total of 368 rabid animals were confirmed statewide, a 28-year high. Of those, 344 were bats and 21 were skunks, along with one cat, one dog and one raccoon. At the end of August the statewide count stood at 252. All figures are provisional and will change as laboratories report more cases.
The rise is not confined to California. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a nationwide health alert on September 10; according to the Sacramento Bee, rabies-related inquiries in July and August were 17 percent higher than in the same period of 2025, and demand for rabies vaccine was up roughly 33 percent. Since 1980, 17 people in California have been infected with rabies, most recently in 2024.
At county level, as this site has previously reported, the number of rabid bats detected in Los Angeles County this year has set a county record. State health officials say the public should avoid touching wild animals, especially bats found on the ground or inside homes; seal gaps where bats could enter a house; keep pets' rabies vaccinations current; and seek medical advice immediately after any possible exposure. Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, but treatment given after an exposure and before symptoms can prevent the disease.
