Abstract:

Rabies is an infection that is often transmitted to people through the bites of animals infected with it, such as raccoons, bats, and dogs. Without treatment, the disease can be fatal to humans. Many states have a series of statutes and regulations to control rabies. Wall summarizes and analyzes North Carolina's rabies control laws.
