Rabies From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search A rabid dog Rabies is a viral zoonotic disease that causes acute encephalitis Usually, people (and animals) die from it (it is fatal ). There is no cure for it. People who are treated soon after becoming infected have a chance to survive. The disease is transmitted through the saliva and the blood . The usual form of getting is a bite of a rabid mammal Pets , like dogs need to be vaccinated against it, in most countries. Contents Treatment Other websites Sources Other websites ... change Treatment There is no cure for Rabies. There is a vaccine against it. The vaccine was first developed by Louis Pasteur and Emile Roux in 1885. This vaccine used a live virus grown in rabbits , and weakened (through drying it). The first person to be vaccinated was Joseph Meister (a 9 year old boy who had been bitten by a dog). Vaccines similar to this are still used today, but other vaccines (growing the virus using cell cultures) are more frequent. There is also a form of treatment that can be done once a person has been bitten. It needs to be done within 6 days of being bitten. It starts with washing the wound. This is done to reduce the number of virus particles that enter the body. Often patients are given one dose of immounoglobulin and a certain number of vaccines, over a determined period of time, usually a month.

Several rabies virus particles in a group Descriptions of rabies go back thousands of years as rabies has classically been one of the most feared infections of all time. It is caused by a bullet-shaped rhabdovirus which is relatively unstable in the environment, requiring fresh contact with mucous membranes to establish infection. In most cases, disease is transmitted via bite wound. Only mammals are susceptible to infection with wildlife being the primary animal group where infection occurs. When wildlife come into contact with humans or domestic animals, rabies becomes a public health problem. Despite vaccination being readily available, every year the U.S. reports several human deaths from rabies, not to mention hundreds of dog and cat deaths. Rabies is nearly untreatable once symptoms begin despite all the resources of modern medicine and it is important to take its threat seriously. It is because of rabies that most municipalities have dog licensing requirements, to ensure that the community's dogs are vaccinated. The most common wildlife species to spread rabies to domestic animals and humans in the Northern Hemisphere are the skunk, bat, raccoon, fox, and coyote. It should be noted in particular that wildlife, bats especially, are able to gain access to indoor areas and potentially infect pets and people.

Rabies IDPH Rabies Web site What is rabies? Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus that attacks the central nervous system. The virus is present primarily in the saliva, brain tissue and spinal fluid of a rabid animal. What animals can get rabies? Rabies can affect all mammals. Since 1995 in the United States, more than 7,000 animals per yearmost of them wildhave been diagnosed as having the disease. The disease is found in all states except Hawaii, as well as in Canada, Mexico and most other countries around the world. In wild animal species, rabies is more common in bats, skunks, raccoons and foxes, but the disease also has been found in deer and in large rodents, such as woodchucks. Cats, dogs and livestock can get rabies, too, if they are not vaccinated. Some animals, including chipmunks, gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rabbits, rats and squirrels, rarely get rabies. Birds, fish, insects, lizards, snakes and turtles never get rabies. Most of the recent cases of human rabies that have occurred in the United States have been caused by rabies virus from bats. In Illinois, rabid bats can be found anywhere. Awareness that bats can be a source of the rabies virus can help people protect themselves. Although bats can carry the rabies virus, most bats are not infected with it. The only way rabies can be diagnosed in a bat, however, is by laboratory testing. There are several signs, though, that could indicate a bat is more likely to be infected with the rabies virus. Bats seen during the day, those found in a place where bats are usually not found (e.g., in a room in your home, on your lawn, etc.) or bats that are unable to fly are more likely to be infected than others. Bats, like all wild animals, should never be handled.

The virus that causes it is typically transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The principal rabies hosts today are wild carnivores and bats, but the virus can also affect pets and other domestic animals. Treatment for rabies is available, but must begin before symptoms develop. If symptoms develop before treatment begins, the disease is almost always fatal. Rabies Disease What Is Rabies? Rabies is a preventable disease that occurs in mammals. It is most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal (an animal with rabies). It affects the nervous system (including the brain) of humans and other animals. Tens of thousands of people are successfully treated each year after being bitten by an animal that may have rabies. A few people die of the disease each year in the United States, usually because they do not recognize the risk when bitten by a wild animal, and do not seek medical advice.

Symptoms Causes and risk factors Page options Print this page What is rabies? Rabies (more technically known as Lyssavirus infection) is a viral infection that affects the nervous system, transmitted to humans in saliva when they are bitten by an infected animal. Top Symptoms The incubation period in rabies is very long – it’s usually between three weeks and two months before symptoms appear (and sometimes a matter of years). During this time the virus is travelling through the nerves to establish itself in the brain, and it is very good at “hiding” from the immune system so that the body can’t build its defences against it. When symptoms do appear, they reflect the fact that the infection is causing widespread inflammation in the brain. By this stage, it is very difficult to treat, so the risk of death is very high – few people have survived symptomatic rabies.

Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear. Fortunately, only a few human cases are reported each year in the United States. What animals can get rabies? Rabies is most often seen among wild animals such as raccoons, bats, skunks and foxes, but any mammal can be infected with rabies. Pets and livestock can get rabies if they are not vaccinated to protect them against infection. Among domestic animals, cats are most frequently diagnosed with rabies in New York State. Some animals almost never get rabies. These include rabbits and small rodents such as squirrels, chipmunks, rats, mice, guinea pigs, gerbils and hamsters. It is possible for these animals to get rabies, but only in rare circumstances, such as if they are attacked but not killed by a rabid animal.

If my child is bitten by a pet gerbil do I need to worry about rabies? No. Small pet mammals such as gerbils, hamsters, and guinea pigs are born and raised in captivity and therefore they are never exposed to the rabies virus. Additionally, if a hamster, gerbil, guinea pig, or even a rat were attacked by a rabid animal they would not likely survive the attack and live long enough to get disease and transmit the virus.

Rabies Virus Rabies virus The Rabies Virus is an organism that frightens many people. It causes the disease known as Rabies. Viruses are microscopic organisms, so you can't see them with your eyes. Other viruses you've probably heard of are flu viruses and AIDS. Scientists are still learning about viruses. They are not even sure where to put them when they organize other organisms, like plants and animals, into groups. Scientists have split viruses into Orders, Families, and Genera (genus). You can see which groups the Rabies Virus is put into at the bottom of the page. When scientists look at the Rabies Virus under a powerful microscope, they see that it is bullet-shaped (see pictures above). They also know it is covered with tiny spikes. The Rabies Virus is transmitted by saliva . It passes from one animal to another when the first animal bites the second animal. Once the Rabies Virus is in the blood, it attacks cells . The virus incubates , which means it grows and changes (a lot like a baby bird in an egg). Then it moves through the nerves, up the spinal cord, to the brain.

About Rabies What every dog owner should know about rabies Introduction Clinical signs Prevention in pets Prevention in people Introduction Rabies is a virus that can affect any warm-blooded animal; whenever someone is bitten by an animal, the chance of rabies exists. Although the incidence of rabies in humans is low, more than 30,000 people undergo treatment for possible exposure to rabies in the US. Rabies primarily attacks the nervous system and causes an encephalitis. The virus is transmitted in saliva from the bite of an infected animal. The incubation period prior to clinical signs is extremely variable, but is usually two-to-eight weeks. The virus will begin shedding in saliva a short time before clinical signs develop, usually less than 10 days. For both humans and domestic animals, the primary source of rabies is the bite of a rabid wild animal. The most common of these are skunk, raccoon, bat, and fox. Currently, the number of cats infected with rabies has surpassed that of dogs. The main reasons are that there are now more cats than dogs and cats tend to roam more often. Clinical signs There are three phases to the course of the disease: prodromal, furious, and paralytic. Death occurs three to-seven days from the onset of signs.
