Laboratory tests show the dogs that bit children at a Carnikava kindergarten have sufficient antibody levels against rabies, suggesting the disease is unlikely. The results came from the "BIOR" institute.
Latvia's Food and Veterinary Service (PVD) has received laboratory test results concerning dogs that bit children at a kindergarten in Carnikava. The testing was carried out by the Institute of Food Safety, Animal Health and Environment, known as "BIOR".
According to the findings, blood samples from the dogs involved showed antibody levels sufficient to provide protection against rabies. This indicates that the animals are most likely not infected with the dangerous disease.
The information from the Food and Veterinary Service is based on official laboratory test results and is significant for assessing the risk to the children affected in the kindergarten incident.
