§ 46. Sir Richard Glynasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to reduce the risk of indirect infection with rabies inside quarantine kennels.
§ Mr. John MackieIndirect infection with rabies inside kennels is no more than a possibility. Current research may shed some light on this. Meantime strict isolation, and high standards of hygiene, are the most effective defence against any form of indirect infection. Further quarantining of any animals exposed to the possibility of indirect infection will be prescribed where a rabies death occurs in approved premises.
§ Sir Richard Glynasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food which species of animals can be infected by and transmit rabies.
§ Mr. John MackieAll warm-blooded species; although many of them are not commonly vectors of the disease.
