While this was the first moose to be diagnosed with rabies in Alaska, there have been previous occurrences in South Dakota, Minnesota, Canada, and Russia.
TELLER, Alaska - The first moose to be diagnosed with rabies in Alaska was confirmed Monday by the state’s Department of Fish and Game.
The moose was dispatched on the same day by officials with Fish and Game and was confirmed to have tested positive for rabies on June 6 by the department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,After the samples were taken, Fish and Game coordinated with the City of Teller to burn the carcass.
“This past winter, red foxes from the Nome and surrounding area — including Teller — there were 66 tested total, and 28.8% were positive,” Beckmen said. While it is extremely unlikely to encounter a moose with rabies, Fish and Game advises wearing protective gloves, washing hands and equipment after handling wild game, and cooking wild game to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
