... The Larimer County Department of Health and Environment announced Friday that tests, conducted by the CSU Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, showed that an adult female bison who died suddenly in her outdoor holding pen June 21 died of rabies.
Dr. Adrienne LeBailly, department director, said in a news release that the death of this bison ? as well as possibly the death of two other bison in the same facility ? "demonstrates the potential for skunks with rabies to spread this fatal disease to other susceptible animals through bites."
In Larimer County, 17 skunks have tested positive for rabies in the past two months. The first rabid skunk ever identified in the Fort Collins area was found near the facility housing the bison.
Samples from two other female bison in the same herd who recently died are being tested. Laboratory results are expected in the next few weeks.
