N2  - In January 1971, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) initiated a national animal-bite surveillance program in cooperation with 15 health jurisdictions that agreed to submit data to the center. During the 2-year surveillance period (1971-1972), 196,684 animal-bite cases were reported from the 15 reporting areas. An animal-bite case was defined as any biting of a person by an animal reported to CDC by a participating health department. Data pertaining to some factors associated with animal bites were reported, including the age and sex of the bitten person, the species of the biting animal, and, in some areas, the status of the biting animal with respect to vaccination against rabies.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
