§ 69. Sir Richard Glynasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many varieties of mammals 68W are capable of developing rabies and of infecting other mammals; which are these mammals; and which of these varieties are at present subject to quarantine restrictions on entering the United Kingdom.
Mr. VaneAll mammals are susceptible to rabies and are capable of developing the disease if infected, but since the disease is usually transmitted by biting it is only likely to be passed on by animals which defend themselves or attack other animals in this way. The canine and feline species are the usual transmitters.
In domestic animals the disease is most likely to occur in dogs and cats but it has been found in horses and cattle. In wild life it has been recorded in many animals including foxes, badgers, skunks, mongooses, raccoons and bats. These animals can infect other mammals, which accounts for the fact that the disease has been recorded in many different kinds of animals in some parts of the world. Over 100 different kinds of animals are subject to quarantine. These are listed in the following table:
