Rabies was diagnosed in a 40 kg pig from a closed feeder barn in which recently unexplained deaths of eight to ten pigs had occurred. A stray cat, probably crawling through a ventilation duct into the barn, was the suspected vector. Over a four and one-quarter year period a disproportionate 53 cases of animal rabies had been diagnosed within a 5 km radius of the farm (13% of the cases in the county in 3% of the county area). Histological lesions, mostly lymphocytic cuffing of blood vessels in the brain with lymphocytic meningitis, patchy to focal gliosis and satellitosis with neuronal necrosis were nonspecific and Negri bodies were rare. Fluorescent antibody technique examination of the brain for rabies virus antigen was positive.
