Yes: The majority of rabies reported to the cdc are animal cases with carnivors or bats as the main subjects. Only hawaii is free of rabies at this time in the us. In the last year of full reporting (2010) there were 2 human cases. See: www.Cdc.Gov.

Rabies in wildlife: Yes- rabies is found all over the U.S. in wildlife (except the state of Hawaii). Fortunately human rabies is extremely rare- but the possibility exists for transmission to humans if we are not careful. Keeping pets vaccinated and Respecting wild life is important (Note mammals are the reservoirs for the virus- esp bats and wild carnivores like coyotes). Education is key.
