Returned to owner 66 Died 9 Destroyed 38 Sent to S.F.C.A. Dogs' Home 44 Remaining under observation 4

26. 9 dogs' brains were examined by the Government Bacteriologist for evidence of Rabies with one positive result.

27. The positive result appeared in a dog at Kowloon which had been brought in from the New Territories.

28. When this case occurred, the muzzling order was enforced, and movement of dogs between Kowloon and New Territory and Hong Kong was restricted.

29. Glanders:-

One isolated case occurred during the year. On "Mallein-ing" the in-contacts no further infected animals were found. The reactor was slaughtered and the premises disinfected. These measures had the effect of getting rid of the disease.

30. Rinderpest:-

A few cases of a not very virulent type occurred. The affected and in-contact animals were slaughtered and the premises disinfected. These measures succeeded in clearing up the disease.

31. Anthrax:--

Three cases occurred; two from Kwong Chau Wan and one from West River.

32. Segregation of in-contacts and disinfection prevented spread of disease.

16th February, 1982.
