Rabies

10,000 out of 200,000 die from rabies annually.

No. It's transmitted by puncture wounds from infected animals.

Patient of rabies get hydrophobia. So he can not drink the water to transmit the rabies. All the animals and man also gets rabies virus in the saliva, few days before symptoms appear. So transmission by this route can not be excluded.

Rabies cannot be cured. It may only be prevented via vaccinations. If a human is bitten by a suspected rabies animal, the vaccination must be administered within 2 hours of the bite so as to produce inhibitory antibodies against the rabies virus. But once a person is infected with rabies, they will be dead within 2 weeks. Rabies has a 100% death rate in non-vaccinated individuals unfortunately...

because they shove a HUGE needle into your stomach a bunch of times....

Typically, the incubation period lasts for one to three months, though it has been known to range from 5 days to over a year. Death from cardiac or respiratory failure usually occurs within a week after the appearance of rabies symptoms.

As children can be very active, foxes could be dangerous as they might feel intimidated by a loud playful child and may run away or quite rarely attack. But if the fox feels relaxed and happy (you can tell because if it is scared it may make whimpering noises and put its head down) it may allow you to approach it gently.

Its the same for all mammals(as far as I know). Varies greatly. A few days to a year.

Typically 1 to 3 months, but anywhere from about a week to about a year.

No, a nail scratch from a dog does not cause rabies. Rabies is transmitted primarily through the saliva of an infected animal, typically through bites. While scratches can pose a risk for other infections, they are not a common route for rabies transmission. If there are concerns about rabies exposure, it's important to consult a healthcare professional.

There's no set way to tell if a bat that bites you has rabies. While only 0.05% of all bats actually have rabies, it is still a fatal virus and you should never take chances.

If you ever handle a bat, go to the hospital and get checked as soon as possible. Bat bites are slight and can often be overlooked, so you may have been bitten without realizing it. Always get yourself checked out if you are bitten by any strange mammal- rabies is 100% fatal, so it's better to be safe than sorry.

Bat rabies is responsible for a small number of human deaths each year, typically fewer than 10 cases in the United States. Globally, the number can vary, but rabies in general causes an estimated 59,000 deaths annually, with bats being a significant vector in some regions. It's important to note that rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, but effective post-exposure prophylaxis can prevent the disease if administered promptly after exposure.

Rabies attacks the nervous system. Once the virus gets into the nerves near the place it enters the body, it will travel to the brain.

Question is very simple! The answer is most difficult! The rabies virus forms from another rabies virus. The rabies virus must have evolved with the mammals. How the mammals evolved from the egg laying animals was a big question mark. Then two very interesting animals were found in Australia. Echidna and platypus. They are egg laying mammals. It was the great discovery to support the theory of Charles Darwin. Whether these two animals get rabies or not is not known to me. But I guess both can be infected with rabies virus artificially.

yes, if it has ravies that can cause raccoons to have seizures.

Rabies is still a very serious virus that is passed by infected fluids across different animals (including humans). Until recently there has been no known cure or treatment for rabies except for preventative measures. To prevent rabies one can get vaccinated as a precaution or after being bitten by an animal that is infected. Rabies virus has a high gestation period and symptoms do not show up immediately. There have been two known cases of actually curing rabies at this time. One was a 15 year old boy in Brazil and the other a 16 year old girl in Wisconsin. Both situations utilized the "Wisconsin protocol" which involves putting the patient into a medically induced coma. The coma protects the body from any harm the hallucinations from the virus can induce in the patients mind.

No, you cant die from any vaccine. Vaccines are only the simple versions of diseases or colds. In your case rabies. Vaccines only help the body practise fighting germs so that they can counterattack the real thing if it ever comes.

no you cannot but if he bites you then yes

The anti rabies vaccines for humans is long lasting. It appears as if it will last for a lifetime. As a precaution, if bit by a suspect rabid animal, a course of treatment should still be followed.

It may be that those animals bodies just dont provide the right environment for it to express and carry out its life cycle.

In the matter of birds, it could screw up their metabolisms rapidly enough that they die before exhibiting any outward signs. Since they tend to burn a lot of energy, the addition of the rabies virus might simply starve them to death in short order.

Also they might just be immune by virtue of incompatible cellular metabolism.

It will not do an good. Confine the dog for two weeks. It they are rabid, you'll know it.

No, but it is possible for them to have it, especially if they get bit by a rabid animal like a dog, fox, cat, coyote, bat, raccoon, etc. Most horses are not vaccinated for rabies unless there's been known cases of rabid animals around the area.

The vaccine was developed in 1885 by Louis Pasteur

Typically, the rabies vaccine your vet gives to your cat/dog/other animal lasts one year the first time given, and the following rabies shot is usually for three years. Your vet probably sends out reminders to get pets vaccinated, but if your animal gets bitten by a raccoon/skunk/something known to have rabies, you can always take it in to get a booster shot to prevent any chance of your pet getting rabies.

In most cases, untreated rabies is fatal; but if an animal is treated in the early stage of the disease then they can recover. Some animals can be carriers of the disease and not become sick themselves but can spread the disease to others.
