Moles?~~~~Rabies?

Question

Do Moles have rabies?

Answer 1

moles do not have rabies.

Answer 2

Never heard of rabies in moles but I reckon they might be infected if bitten. All warm blooded mamals(are there any other kinds?) are thought to be susceptable to rabies. The transmission of rabies from rabid animals is not very efficient. Only about one in twelve bites is thought to transmit the disease.
In N. America,foxes,coons and bats are the main vectors. Bats are thought to live longest whilst harbouring the virus.
In virtually all animals infection is eventually lethal. But in Egypt some 'healthy' pye dogs have rabies antibodies. They are considered to be the off spring of FEMALE DOGS(I am not permitted to use the correct term) who were incubating the disease and managed to survive their mother's death.

In N. America we have had some deaths with no obvious bite. These are usually considered to be from BAT URINE dropping into the human eye.

In N America there have been cases due to human transplants(corneas) from cadavres in which the cause of death was obscure.

As an aside, if you see a cow standing rather rigidly in a field with it's tail stuck straight out IT IS INCUBATING RABIES .

Answer 3

Rodents such as mice, rats, gophers, moles, chipmunks, prairie dogs, and rabbits are considered free of rabies. Squirrels rarely carry rabies. Rodents can carry other diseases (such as plague). So don't worry about rabies, but make sure to wash out the bite and use peroxide and an antibiotic ointment or cream.

Answer 4

They can. It's unlikely, though. You've been vaccinated for rabies, haven't you?
