Rabies Cluster Among Steers on a Dairy Farm — Minnesota, 2024

Share:

Klumb et al. summarized, “During a 4-week period in May 2024, five of 35 steers on a Minnesota dairy farm developed neurologic signs consistent with rabies. The cluster likely represents a point-source exposure to a rabid skunk; however, steer-to-steer transmission could not be ruled out.”
