On 2026-04-03, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention paused diagnostic testing for rabies, monkeypox and more than two dozen other infectious diseases. The temporary suspension, reported from CDC headquarters in Atlanta, was attributed in coverage to staffing reductions and laboratory downsizing. The agency said some tests may return in coming weeks.
