Human exposure to rabid animals has occurred in Iowa, Vermont and Texas this year. The animals involved were a bat, a stray cat and a cow that was a family pet.
Travellers should be aware that rabies virus is present in wild animals in the US, including racoons, skunks and bats.
Any animal bites should be promptly assessed by a doctor.
