Enhanced Rabies Surveillance Testing for Select Areas of the Trans-Pecos, West Central, and South Texas
In response to a rabies outbreak in New Mexico and in support of ongoing rabies surveillance efforts along the Texas/Mexico border, this protocol has been developed to help agencies respond to calls about potentially rabid wildlife and to facilitate the testing of animals suspected of having rabies. Species of most concern in terrestrial rabies transmission are foxes, coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, and feral or free-ranging dogs and cats.
