Overview

The information on this page was compiled from data provided by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). It is provided for information purposes only. Locations in an area without a recent report of rabies do not negate the need to take necessary precautions or address suspected cases.

The tables do not include cases of bat variant rabies in terrestrial animals, but do include imported cases in dogs.
