摘要
We describe a rabies epizootic in northwest Alaska (USA) during 1989 and 1990 which resulted in mortality to several different wolf (Canis lupus) pack. Four radio-collared wolves were confirmed to have rabies while evidence for seven others was strongly suggestive but not con firmed. The wolf population declined during the rabies epizootic thus rabies may have been a significant limiting factor.
