Rabies

No. Rabies, once symptoms have appeared, is untreatable. It is possible, however, to vaccinate against rabies and provide immunity and this can be done after rabies is contracted but before it is symptomatic. The sooner this is done after infection the more likely it is that the victim will survive. In the past there has been one case of a medically-induced coma causing the survival of a symptomatic patient, but attempts to replicate it have failed. The patient was one of only six people known to have survived the symptomatic disease in history.

Generally, the prognosis for persons with shingles is good. Shingles is almost never a life-threatening disease in otherwise healthy patients, and usually resolves without treatment in a few weeks.

Louis Pasteur and Emile Roux of France developed the first rabies vaccination in 1885. The virus infected tissue was taken from a dead rabbit. The virus was weakened by allowing it to dry in the tissue for a few days.

Any warm blooded animal can carry rabies and that includes humans. There are ways to help to prevent rabies: vaccinating dogs, cats, rabbits, and ferrets against rabies, keeping pets under supervision, not handling wild animals or strays and contacting an animal control officer if you see a wild animal or a stray, especially if the animal is acting strangely.
If bitten by an animal, washing the wound with soap and water for 10 to 15 minutes and contacting a healthcare provider to determine if post-exposure prophylaxis is required.
Rabies used to be called hydrophobia which means fear of water because an animal would try to drink but then would stop. The animal would also 'drool'. This was all caused by the fact that the throat would close up and the animal could not drink even if it wanted to.

yes,such diseases can be spread ,only if another person uses the things of the person who has rabies.For example,if both the people exchange their clothes,towels,brushes,the remaining of the food which had been eaten by the person who has Rabies.

Actually, a death caused directly by rabies is very rare thanks to the availability of vaccines and treatments. Since 2000, the United States only sees about 2-3 cases per year of rabies in humans. Worldwide, the rate is higher, with approximately 50-60,000 deaths per year, virtually all in Africa and Asia.

Bats and skunks are the predominant victims of rabies, and again very few rats are reported as carriers/victims.

When an animal gets rabies it will most likely go through three stages, the prodomal stage, the excitative stage, and the paralytic stage. The prodomal stage is active for a one to three day period of time, the animal may experience various symptoms from a fever to refusing to eat. The exitative stage is when the animal is hypereactive and will bite at anything that is near it, lasts from three to four days. The paralytic stage is when the animal gets paralized in the rear limbs or drools and has trouble swallowing due to paralysis of the facial muscles. Then the animal usually dies because of respiritory arrest.

The answer depends on the risk factors for exposure and how long the vaccine to be used provides protection against the disease. Some vaccines are effective for a year while others are effective for 3 years.

THE SYMPTOMS OF RABIES ARE:

-attitude changing

-foam at the mouth

-bitting

-fearlessness

-afraid of water

-trouble swallowing

-general sickness

-drooling or saliva

-will bite if excited

-difficulty moving

-death

Yes rabies is lytic. The lytic cycle is a cycle of viral reproduction and is how some diseases are spread.

Rabies is a viral disease caused by a virus infected dog biting. It is most prevalent in countries of Asia and Africa. It is estimated that rabies causing 55,000 human deaths annually.

FOR HUMANS, IMMEDIATE AND THOROUGH CLEANSING OF THE BITE WOUND AND A SERIES OF INJECTIONS INTO WOUND OF HYPERIMMUNE ANTIRABIES SERUM, A 14 TO 30 DAY COURSE DAILY AND THEN BOOSTER DOSES ARE GIVEN EVERY 10 DAYS AFTER THAT AND AGAIN 20 DAYS LATER. IN ANIMALS, DEPENDING ON WHICH FOR IT TAKES, THERE'S TWO, IRRITABLE OR PARALYTIC, DEATH MOST LIKELY WITHIN 3-5 DAYS. THERE IS A VACCINE MADE FOR DOMESTIC ANIMALS TO PREVENT THIS. SEE YOUR VET.

There is no cure once the signs of rabies appear. It is then inevitably fatal. However, the relatively long incubation period allows post-exposure therapy to be effective if done correctly.

Symptoms of Rabies include Hydrophobia (Fear of water) and localized numbness in the area in which the person was bit, if any rabies-like symptoms appear, the person should report to a hospital immediately where they will be injected with certain shots.

Pasteur produced the first vaccine for rabies by growing the virus in rabbits, and then weakening it by drying the affected nerve tissue.

The rabies vaccine was initially created by Emile Roux, a French doctor and a colleague of Pasteur who had been working with a killed vaccine produced by desiccating the spinal cords of infected rabbits.

If the dog that bit you cannot be located for observation or testing, post exposure shots should be given. Contact your doctor. They will notify the Department of State Health Services that the shots are required. If the dog can be located and observed it will quarantined for 10 days from the time of the bite. If the dog is alive and well at the end of the observation time there is no need for the shots. If the dog becomes ill or dies during the observation period, it will be tested to see if the illness or death was caused by rabies. If the test is negative, no shots. If rabies is detected you will need the shots.

rabies is cased when a human has the rabid animal's siliva tranfered into his\her body. even if a human has a ingury such as a cut and the rabid animal's silava comes into the body they will have rabies. if you are bitten by a pet take him to a professinal to be looked at for 10 days, if the bit more serious then more likely 1 month. if bitten by a wild animal also have the animal exammend, stay safe!

For both people and animals, the typical incubation period for rabies is 1 to 3 months. In rare cases, the incubation period can last from several days to more than a year after exposure to the virus.

After the symptoms of rabies appear, the disease is nearly always fatal. The virus damages the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord.

Actually it doesn't cost anything. But if you have alot of oney or hi income then than they ight cost you it also depends hoe good it is if its bad or life saving also if you havea bad case then its free but u pay after also they ight keep you in a giant incubater room. STAY AWAY FROM ANIMALS THAT HAVE RABIES

For pets it is $15-$20. There is a pre-exposure vaccine for humans that is recommended for animal control workers, and also for many rescue workers and any other job that brings you into contact with stray animals or wildlife (especially skunks, raccoons, and foxes). It is more expensive than the animal vaccines. Usually it is ordered through a veterinarian and administered by a doctor or nurse. There is also a painful and expensive series of shots for a person who does not have the pre-exposure vaccine and is exposed to rabies. There is no cure for rabies in people OR animals, and without a vaccine or post-exposure course of shots if you do get rabies, you will not know until symptoms occur. Once symptoms present, it is fatal. A few humans have survived but they are usually vegetables. There are two people we know of who have survived with all faculties intact, but don't take the chance. Always make sure your pets are current on all vaccines, but rabies is the most important. RABIES CAN STILL BE TRANSMITTED IN THE BITE OF AN ANIMAL EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT YET SHOWING SYMPTOMS!!!

The incubation period for Rabies may range from two weeks to many months. It can depend on the strain of rabies as well as the location of the bite. However, an animal can transmit the disease a few days before showing any clinical signs of the virus. If left untreated, Rabies will be fatal. If treated immediately after being exposed to or bitten by an animal that could have rabies, human infection can be prevented. If exposed, immediately wash the wound or exposed surface with soap and water. Remove any clothes that may have been contaminated. See a doctor right away. There are various post-exposures drugs than can be administered. Signs to watch for: depression headache vertigo stiff neck inability to drink (“hydrophobia”) spasms and paralysis left untreated, death results from swelling of the brain or pneumonia

Human to human rabies has been documented. On record there has been 11 instances according to the CDC. Eight were cornea transplants, and three were solid organ transplants.

You can vaccinate the mother. The babies need to be at least 4 monhts old before their immune system can handle a Rabies vaccine. Do not vaccinate a pregnant animal with Rabies. It can affect the unborns.

According to the Indiana State Department of Health, rabies cannot be cured once symptoms appear. I found this information on their website October 23, 2008: Can rabies be cured? Once symptoms appear in humans, rabies can not be cured. There have been only a few human rabies survivors, and almost all suffered permanent neurological damage. Therefore, efforts are focused on preventing exposure or providing immunity that will prevent disease in those exposed. http://www.in.gov/isdh/20518.htm#Can%20rabies%20be%20cured?

Rabies started a long long long time ago in about 3000 AD. I've been to a various amount of websites and no one seems to know how it actually started. We do in fact know where it started though, it started around Iraq like i said about 3000 AD. I hope that helps.

Rabies is a viral infection that affects the nervous system of mammals. The virus resides in the brain and is shed through the saliva of an infected animal. Any mammal (animal with hair; other characteristics are warm-blooded, vertebrate, and females have milk producing glands for their babies) is capable of contracting and carrying rabies. There are some mammals that are at a higher risk than others, such as raccoons, skunks, stray cats and dogs, foxes, coyotes, and bats. There are traditional symptoms of the last stages of rabies, such as foaming at the mouth, fear of water, biting behavior etc...but those symptoms do not always appear OR a rabid animal might not be at that stage yet. If you see an animal that is acting strangely, such as a raccoon that is out in broad daylight or a skunk that doesn't have any fear of people, it's a good idea to stay away from the animal and also get to a phone and call your local animal control officer. If you see any mammal that appears to be hurt, injured, orphaned etc...it's always good to air on the side of caution. As hard as it is, it's best to leave the animal and call animal control or a wildlife rehabilitator (a simple internet search can help you find wildlife rehabilitators that are in your area.)
