Work on the system began in 1965 when Ministry of Natural Resources and Connaught Laboratories researchers started developing a vaccine and a method to distribute vaccine in a bait over a specific rural area. Wildlife, especially skunks and foxes- the main rabies carriers in Ontario- that ate the baits, would not be infected by existing rabies carriers, thus lessening the chance the disease would spread into neighbouring areas. Since then, Connaught has developed a vaccine and MNR has worked out the aerial distribu- tion of baits from low-flying air- craft. This fall, the ministry will determine in field tests whether or not the bait should be in a plastic bag when dropped. Researchers are still analyzing rabies data to pinpoint the best location for next year's bait drops within the boundaries of the Ottawa-Carleton Region and counties of Leeds and Grenville. Rabies has been a problem since the 1950s when the disease appeared in southern Ontario. In 45hrs. 4u5hre. u5hre. 30nrs. 45hres. U5hnre. 30hrs. TO REGISTER: please call! CONFEDERATION COLLEGE.

"First, you live trap them, then cover the cage with plastic sheeting," according to Dr. Rick Rosatte of the Ministry of Natural Resources' rabies research unit. "Then you push a smaller live- trap cage into the first cage, gen- tly squeezing the skunk down to the end. "Remove the plastic sheeting, and simply vaccinate the skunk with a hand-held syringe. "Apparently skunks in a con- fined area don't have enough room to flex muscles that control their spraying equipment." That's what MNR researchers have been doing in a trap-and- release program to vaccinate skunks and raccoons against rabies in a 60-kilometre square see page 9 Buying or Selling Check the Classifieds 825-3747 "® December 21, 1987.
