Here is an interesting report from the National Institute for Communicable Diseases, in their December 2006 Communiqué:
The online (non-e-mail) version exists, but only up till August 2006 at present.
Two people were exposed to a jackal, later confirmed as rabid, in a private lodge in the Greater Kruger Park area. This is the first confirmed rabies in a wild animal originating from within the Kruger Park. Surveillance has been heightened in the park and it is hoped that this will be an isolated incident.
Wild animals with rabies typically display unusual behaviour and frequently appear “tame�. It is essential that members of the public exercise extreme caution when interacting with stray animals. These should not be picked up but rather reported to the SPCA or state veterinary services for investigation.
There are 28 confirmed human rabies cases to date in 2006.
