Can human drink a boiled milk of cow infected by rabies can human have infected by diseases?
Theoretically Rabies virus can be transmitted through milk but the viability and infectivity of the virus is less than the virus shed through the saliva and through the bite of the rabid animal. Moreover, virus is heat labile and can be inactivated by the temperature even below the pasterurisation temperature and this property of the virus does not pose risk to the personnel consuming pasteurised milk or boiled milk. Dr. S. Vamshi Krishna.
What is the cycle for rabies?
Rabies is a virus transmitted through infected saliva. It enters the bloodstream and travels through the nerves and spinal column to the brain. Once in the brain, the virus replicates and spreads throughout the internal organs.
