How can I find out what animals have rabies in my area?

Each state collects specific information about rabies, and is the best source for information on rabies in your area. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes rabies surveillance data every year for the United States. The report, entitled Rabies Surveillance in the United States, contains information about the number of cases of rabies reported to CDC during the year, the animals reported rabid, maps showing where cases were reported for wild and domestic animals, and distribution maps showing outbreaks of rabies associated with specific animals. A summary of the report can be found on the CDC website.
