Feral raccoons captured in Hokkaido, Japan were examined for the presence of rabies virus neutralizing antibody (VNA). Between 2000 to 2002, 741 serum samples were collected and then subjected to VNA titer determination by rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT). Sera showing RFFIT titers of > or =1:25 have been considered as positive according to previous reports. VNA was detected in n...
