This web app contains details of animal samples requested for rabies testing in Manitoba since the province took over the rabies program on April 1, 2014. As of that date, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is no longer involved with managing rabies cases in Manitoba. The provincial Rabies Management Program is now coordinated by Manitoba Rabies Central, a collaborative effort involving the Manitoba departments of Health, Agriculture, and Environment, Climate and Parks. Samples for rabies testing are requested by Manitoba Health in cases of human exposure to a suspected rabid animal and by Agriculture in cases of animal exposure to a suspect rabid animal. Collection of a sample from the suspect rabid animal is coordinated by Manitoba Agriculture. This information will be updated on a quarterly basis.
