Your local PH should be sent a copy of the 1998 Compendium of Animal Rabies Control, available at <http://www.avma.org>, along with the published skunk strain shedding study, which is: "Pathogenesis of experimentally induced rabies in domestic ferrets," Michael Niezgoda, MS; Deborah J. Briggs, PhD; John Shaddock, BS; David W. Dreesen, DVM, MPVM; Charles E. Rupprecht, VMD, PhD, _American Journal of Veterinary Reports_, Vol. 58, No. 11, Nov. 1997.
