State Offers Rabies
Education Seminar
In Johnstown
HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co.) —An increasingly high num
ber of rabies cases has prompted
state and local officials to organ
ize a seminar concerning rabies
prevention, control and treatment
on Tuesday, April 18 in Johns
town.
The seminar is scheduled for
10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the
Johnstown Campus of the Univer
sity of Pittsburgh in the Living/
Learning Center. It will bring
together officials from the state
Health and Agriculture depart
ments, Cambria County Humane
Society and Pennsylvania Game
Commission in an effort to share
information about the disease with
the community.
Dr. Karen Martin, a veterinary
medical field officer in the Agri
culture Department’s Altoona
office, and David Vore, a live
stock disease control technician,
will participate in the seminar.
FORCE CONTROLS.
ln Developing FORCE soil
insecticide, Zeneca Ag Products simulated and
improved on the powerful chemistry found in
chrysanthemum flowers. The result is the first
pyrethroid insecticide designed for soil
application.
Because of this unique chemistry, FORCE
ranks low in mammalian toxicity, which means
very low hazard to humans. In addition, the
low water solubility and soil mobility of FORCE
greatly reduces any risk of leaching or ground
water contamination.

“As contact with animals
increases in the spring and sum
mer months, the concern for rabies
is great,” Martin said. “We all
benefit from a seminar like this,
because it offers first-hand infor
mation to the audience, allowing
representatives from all the agen
cies involved to provide a coordi
nated front”
Martin plans to discuss rabies in
animals, Pennsylvania’s Rabies
Vaccination Law, the role the
Agriculture Department plays in
rabies diagnostics, and the sequ
ence of events that occurs once an
animal is exposed to rabies.
The seminar, sponsored by the,
Health Department and Cambria
County Humane Society, is
geared toward health profession
als, animal protection officers, po
lice officers and emergency work
ers, as well as the public at large.
