FORT COLLINS, Colo.—A bison has died from rabies at a Colorado State University research facility in Fort Collins.
Larimer County officials said Friday that public health and veterinary experts believe the infected bison likely came into contact with a rabid skunk or possibly a fox or other wild animal with rabies.
The bison died at in an outdoor pen at CSU’s Foothills Campus on June 21. The animal was part of a breeding project.
A news release from the health department says two other bison have also died, but it wasn’t clear whether rabies was the cause. Health officials didn’t immediately return a call.
The health department says CSU is taking steps to vaccinate the rest of the herd.
