Lyssavirus

Rabies is an infectious disease, which means it is contagious and can be transferred by direct and indirect contact with infected saliva. It is caused by a pathogen in the Lyssavirus genus family. At first onset it may present with flu like symptoms and will progress to more severe symptoms such as hallucinations, abnormal behavior, insomnia, agitation, excessive salivation, and confusion. Once the more sever symptoms present themselves it is almost always fatal. The treatment for Rabies will vary

Syndrome recognition and notification “Rabies virus, the type species of the genus Lyssavirus of the family Rhabdoviridae, order Mononegavirales, is the causative agent of rabies” (Detrick, et al., 2006). This bullet-shaped, enveloped RNA virus is one of the most formidable, zoonotic, neurologic diseases due to the prognosis almost invariably fatal in both humans and animals. Rabies is a genotype 1 Lyssavirus and can be found throughout the world, with the exception of Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand

(2008) identified the virus to be one of the encephalitis viruses that belong to the family Rhabdoviridae and the genus Lyssavirus. Rabies is an enzootic disease in the sylvatic cycle when it comes to certain species such as bats, foxes, and raccoons. This means that the disease in found and spread by specific animal carriers. However, coming to humans, wild and domestic animals

Mononegavirales, family Rhabdoviridae, genus Lyssavirus. (7) Six other lyssaviruses also cause rabies (Lagos Bat, Mokola Virus, Duvenhage Virus, European Bat Virus 1 & 2, and Australian Bat Virus). (7) This is not, however, an exhaustive list as public health experts suspect other pathogens will be discovered. (7) Because rabies is a virus (and not a bacterium), this microbe is neither gram positive nor negative. Microscopic Appearance Under a microscope, Lyssavirus looks like a bullet shaped porcupine

Rabies (lyssavirus) attacks the human’s nervous system, and is later discharged in the saliva. The lyssavirus keeps out of sight from the immune system, so there is no immune response and it is hard to fight back with the hidden virus. If the person infected does not get immediate treatment, the disease will evolve. After the person gets bitten, they should receive first aid immediately. After that, the only way to stop the rabies from growing is a preventive treatment. The treatment is giving certain

Introduction: Rabies virus (Rv) is a type species1 of the viral genus Lyssavirus from the phylogenetic family Rhabdoviridae. The morphology pertaining to Lyssavirus consist of a spiked viral envelop surrounding a protein matrix—protein M2—and an inner ribonucleocapsid3 complex containing the viral ribonucleic acid (RNA). The spiked appearance of the viral envelop is secondary to the presence of glycoproteins that line its outer surface. Lyssavirus maintains both a helical and a cubical symmetry, however, the

A Disease is a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, that produces signs or symptoms that impairs normal functioning and is not because of a direct result of physical injury Rabies is caused by the Australian bat lyssavirus and the rabies virus. Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in mammals. It is transmitted through saliva if the infected comes in contact with the eyes, mouth or nose of another mammal. It can also be spread if the rabid

(D. Hill) The risk of contracting a fatal disease is a very serious threat. Rabies is a viral disease (genus Lyssavirus) that affects all mammals, and so can be spread from any mammal to a human. The disease cannot be diagnosed until symptoms appear, and once symptoms have appeared the victim almost always dies. Although not conventionally thought of as wildlife

Rabies : The Virus and Its Mechanisms Rabies is an infectious disease that has been around the world since the time of Columbus and his first trip to the New World. Back then, it was characterized as the “mad dog” disease and only few would survive it. Those who survived, it was said, were due to miracles. Rabies is a disease that attacks and infiltrates the nervous system and ultimately attacks the brain of its host, leading to neuronal dysfunctions. Throughout the years, scientists have studied

Most humans, have come in contact with a dog, cat, and even wild animals or rodents. Some of us become owners of such animals that are then domesticated. Although, cute and human 's best friend, people are not well informed when it comes to caring for. Does your pet has all the necessary vaccinations? What if I ask you how much do you know about rabies? Some think it comes from animals like pigs or cows. Others suggest it comes from sick dogs or cats, which are commonly domestic. The truth is
