Officials in the southern Ontario community of Brant County have confirmed a human case of rabies in a local resident, the first rabies case in the province since 1967.
Brant County Health Unit (BCHU) said the rabies is believed to have been contracted from a bat in the Gowganda area of the Timiskaming region in northeastern Ontario. The individual has been hospitalized, according to a Sept. 6 BCHU news release.
