A child in Ontario, , has died of rabies after contact with a bat, the first case confirmed there since 1967.
The unidentified child had been in the hospital since early September after waking up one morning to a bat in their room. Officials have withheld the child’s name, age, and gender to protect the family’s privacy.
The rabies virus is transmitted to humans through the saliva of infected animals, including bats, raccoons, skunks, foxes, and coyotes. The Ontario child’s parents did not see any signs of a bite, though, and did not get the child vaccinated against rabies following the incident.
