罗得岛州狂犬病病例近翻倍 今年48只动物检测阳性
罗得岛州卫生厅11月10日再次发布狂犬病警报：约翰斯顿市和考文垂市各有一只浣熊检测出狂犬病阳性。约翰斯顿市的浣熊来自格林厄斯大道地区，考文垂市的浣熊来自普莱恩菲尔德派克地区，两只浣熊均于上周末检测呈阳性。截至目前，罗得岛州今年已有48只动物检测出狂犬病阳性，接近2021年至2025年间年均25只的两倍，卫生官员表示尚不清楚今年病例激增的原因。今年检测呈阳性的动物多数为浣熊、蝙蝠和臭鼬。美国疾病控制与预防中心今年9月曾发布健康警报，指出2026年夏季全美动物接触报告和暴露后疫苗接种均有所增加。罗得岛州卫生厅提醒居民避免接触野生动物和流浪动物，为宠物接种狂犬病疫苗，发现行为异常的野生动物及时报告。动物狂犬病的完整清单、标本采集日期和地点可在卫生厅狂犬病数据看板“动物狂犬病地图”栏目查询。
Rhode Island Rabies Cases Nearly Double: 48 Animals Test Positive This Year
The Rhode Island Department of Health issued another rabies alert on November 10: one raccoon each in Johnston and Coventry has tested positive for rabies. The Johnston raccoon came from the Green Earth Avenue area and the Coventry raccoon from the Plainfield Pike area; both tested positive over the past weekend. So far this year, 48 animals in Rhode Island have tested positive for rabies — nearly twice the annual average of 25 recorded from 2021 through 2025 — and health officials say the reason for this year’s surge is not yet clear. Most of this year’s positive animals have been raccoons, bats and skunks. In September, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a Health Alert Network advisory noting that animal-contact reports and post-exposure vaccinations had both risen across the country in the summer of 2026. The state health department reminded residents to avoid contact with wild and stray animals, vaccinate their pets against rabies, and promptly report wild animals behaving abnormally. The full list of animal rabies cases, with specimen collection dates and locations, is available on the department’s rabies data dashboard under "Animal Rabies Map."
