Positive Rabies Samples by Animal Classification

The Wadsworth Center Rabies Laboratory collects submission data for all of New York State, except New York City. For more than a decade, the Wadsworth Center Rabies Laboratory has published monthly reports and a more comprehensive annual report as open access data. The purpose of these reports is to provide data to local health departments and federal agencies that may help in funding decisions, oral rabies vaccination strategies, and collaboration among agencies. Additionally, it provides the public, including veterinarians and medical health professionals, with detailed information about the rabies virus in New York State.
