S?cheval: a case of rabies detected in a dead bat
The National Health Security (HANDLE) recently confirmed a diagnosis of rabies on the body of a bat found near a home north of the Ardennes S?cheval.
The public health measures were immediately implemented: the investigation was immediately conducted by doctors at the ARS * Champagne-Ardenne and veterinary DDCSPP the Bulge, it appears that no risk of human contamination or animal is found.
Over the last twenty years, fifty cases of rabies in bats has been recorded in France. This rage is distinct from rabies in terrestrial mammals (dogs, foxes).
Rabies, transmitted by bites, scratches from a rabid animal, is fatal in humans if treatment is not undertaken quickly.
The post-exposure rabies treatments are particularly effective, however: no cases of human rabies contracted in the territory of metropolitan France has occurred since 1924.
