Rabies

Joseph lister

Rabies shots are suggested at once a year when you are already going in to get tetnus, strangles, 4 way, and a coggins test.

In advanced stage of the rabies, you get paralysis of muscles.

Rabies is an endemic disease of the vampire bats form South America. The infected bat bites the victim. The carnivorous animals transmits the infection to other animals, before it dies of rabies. Other animals get the rabies after some days and in turn transmit the infection further. This cycle goes on. This is the usual cycle for most of he pathogenic organisms. They do not kill all the hosts. Otherwise the pathogenic organisms will also disappear.

if you get bitten by a dog with rabies you might get them

well you'd think so cause its like all in the body so its like passing it and the mom of those animals would like be licking them and stuff. also they'd be sucking her milk and it could be in that too, she could also bite them. but I'm not completely sure. someone else help :S :(

Rabies is still a huge problem, and difficult to control. This is partly because it affects so many species. There are vaccinations available for animals, but you can't immunise every animal - bats can carry rabies, but vaccinating them as well as rats, meerkats, mongoose, badgers, hedgehogs, wild game as well as domestic animals is unrealistic. I don't see that Rabies will be eradicated or even controlled in my lifetime.

The place to start is with education and awareness, starting with very young children. The rule of thumb is that if a friendly domestic animal becomes aggressive, get far away from it. If a wild animal seems friendly and unafraid of humans, get far away from it, and in both cases, notify the authorities urgently. The "authorities" will be the Police in most countries. This information needs to be repeated so often that the public get tired of hearing it.

Many countries with Rabies provide free vaccinations for domestic pets, and in some countries, owners face heavy fines and possibly the destruction of their pets unless they can produce valid Rabies vaccination certificates.

All countries with endemic Rabies have passed laws to make Rabies a notifiable disease, and are included in the statistics sent to the World Health Organisation.

The UK has strict animal importation laws. Anyone bringing an animal into the country is required by law to have the animal put in a Government approved kennels for 6 months before they are allowed to go and live with their owners. No pet owner likes that idea, but Rabies is such a dreadful disease that they just have to put up with it.

If you wish to take your pet on holiday, you have to apply for a Pet Passport. It takes about 7 months to get one because the animal has to be microchipped, then have blood taken by the Vet. Vaccinations are given, with follow up blood tests to assess if the animal is immune, then 'booster' jabs given followed by more blood tests. Unless you have all this paperwork signed by a registered Vet, you can not send the papers off to apply for a Pet passport.

The UK has an additional problem. It is very difficult to conceal an animal on an aircraft, but the UK has ferry, bus and train links to France, and they are not checked as diligently as aircraft are, and in practice, animals are smuggled in by ignorant people who do not understand the danger to other people and other animals. All they know is that they don't want to be parted from Dear Little Fluffy. By doing so, they create a major risk to thousands of people and animals, so the punishments are harsh when they are discovered.

I am an animal lover myself and I wouldn't want my pets to be quarantined for 6 months. And I may be tempted to smuggle an appealing creature who has stolen my heart into a UK bound train. But as a retired nurse who had to see a beautiful young boy die an appalling death from Rabies, I fully support the strict laws the UK has put in place.

No, i don't think that bees can have rabies.

Rabies is caused by a viral infection that affects the nervous system, and is zoonotic, meaning that it can be passed animal to human, in the saliva when bitten by an infected animal. When an animal is bitten the saliva carries the rabies virus into the body and it travels down the peripheral nervous system. The rabies virus attaches itself to a healthy nerve cell and when it is accepted it starts to multiply rapidly inside. The new rabies virus leaves and moves onto another healthy cell.
it slowley rotts your brain its very painfull its fatal as well it also causes animals in some cases to not fear humans and attack them witch is how it is mainly spread only curable with a serise of very large needle with a salution injected in o the stoumach very very very painfull
First symptom's are flu like with anxiety and hydrophobia.Inflammation of the brain occurs with causes paralysis.Patients cannot swallow and are fearful of water therefore cannot quench their thirst.Rabies is nearly always fatal due to respiratory problems because of the paralysis.

Only if that kitten was infected with rabies. (exception: if that kitten was a carrier of rabies, meaning it had it but didn't show symptoms of the disease.)

Rabies, which is usually transferred through a bite, is a viral infection that results in acute encephalitis. There are many signs that can identify an animal that is infected by rabies. These symptoms include: partial or total paralysis; excessive drooling; consumption of unusual substances, such as dirt or rocks; and disorientation.

Animals can get rabies from being bitten by a infected animal.

No. That is not possible. Rabies virus can be transmitted. It can not be created.

Only if that rat has rabies, & even then, chances are slim. Human saliva has acid & so much vile bacterium in it that it basically destroys poisons & other alien bacterium.

synthetic immunogobulins

every year about 55 thousand people die from rabies

louis pastuer found the cure within the person who got it. so, he used that information 2 find out how the animals got it.

No. Contact with the dead animal is necessary, usually with its saliva. (And, of course, the animal has to have been already infected with rabies. Contact with a non-infected dead animal will not give you rabies.)

If the raccoon was rabid then yes but if it wasnt then no.

Rabies is called a neurotropic disease as it is capable of entering and infecting the nervous system. Rabies is transferred by saliva and/or blood in warm blooded animals. Symtoms of rabies are neurological (hence neurotropic), that is, they affect brain cognition causing irrational behaviour as well as encephalitis (acute swelling of the brain).

Yes, Rabies virus has an envelope of host plasma membrane origin which is embedded with the sole virus spike protein - Glycoprotein.

"Rabies has been produced in birds experimentally, however, it has never been found in wild bird populations."

Birds have been found to have positive titers for rabies: (Gough & Jorgenson, "Rabies antibodies in sera of wild birds". JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE DISEASES, Vol 12, July 1976.

Rabies vaccinations are usually administered initially between 12 and 16 weeks of age. State and local laws may set age requirements.

EVERY ten minutes a person dies from rabies. IT could be anyone around a dog, who has the risk of rabies, around the dog that hasn't taken shots though.

Rabies is typically not spread human-to-human, although if an infected human were to bite another human, it could happen. The much more common pathway for humans to get infected with rabies is to be bit by another mammal that is infected with rabies. In the United States, bats, raccoons and skunks are the most commonly identified mammal carriers; in places with variable dog control, feral dogs are commonly infected with rabies and tend to pass that infection on to humans.
