Rabies in Newfoundland & Labrador
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Rabies is a deadly viral disease of the brain spread by the bite of infected mammals. It is most commonly seen in red or arctic foxes in this province though other wild animals such as bats may carry the disease. Sick foxes can bite other foxes, dogs, cats, wolves, caribou, other animals and people and make them sick. Once bitten by an animal with rabies it can take from two weeks to six months before the animal shows signs of the disease. Though uncommon, this period can be as short as 4 days or as long as a year or more. Once the signs appear the animal is usually dead within 10 days. The signs of rabies include a change in behavior such as from friendly to aggressive, or from cautious to fearless. A dog that had a good temper may start acting mean while a fox that would normally not be seen in a town during the daytime might be seen running around between houses and fighting with dogs. Animals with rabies also start biting and chewing more. This could include biting at people and animals or biting and chewing at skidoos, wood, stones, buildings or even the animal’s own limbs and tail. They may even break their teeth doing it. One of the signs of rabies in dead animals is broken teeth. Another sign of rabies is the presence of porcupine quills in the face. Animals normally wary of porcupines may approach them when rabid. Rabid animals may also be seen staggering, drooling, have a change in voice or paralysis of part of the body (such as a hind leg).

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
