Rabies

The effect of rabies on host organisms and treatment of the disease Rabies is a zoonotic virus that causes around 55,000 deaths per year worldwide (WHO, 2014). While the disease is well-known and has been studied for many years, research is still being carried out to further try and understand the disease process. Primarily targeting the central nervous system, rabies will only begin to cause symptoms when it reaches the CNS, moving through the body via retrograde transport through nerves. There

Rabies belongs to the order 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

History of the Virus The rabies virus is a major public health hazard all around the world, despite the strategies that have been put in place to fight this infection. It is estimated that the disease kills an average of 35,000 people every year, mostly in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. It is a viral disease which directly leads to the death of the infected individual or animal. Human beings contract the infection from a bite from a rabid animal, but human to human transmission normally occurs

Abstract Rabies is a highly infectious viral disease that can easily ruin and eventually end the lives of both humans and animals alike. Rabies comes in two forms for animals. It comes in the form of paralytic rabies, which is the kind that puts you in paralysis right from the beginning, skipping the symptoms of agitation and excitability. Rabies also appears in the form of furious rabies, which is completely different in the way that it makes the victim restless, vicious and agitated. When humans

In 2005, 23 people died from rabies (Chelsea Harvey). Rabies is a deadly virus that affects the nervous system. It spreads through bites or scratches of a rabid animal. The virus is part of the Rhabdoviridae family. You could fall into a coma and eventually die if you get affected by rabies. Rabies is a deadly virus that affects the nervous system. The nervous system has two parts; the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system is like the control center

sera with a constant amount of rabies virus. It is then incubated for about 20 hours, which allows any viruses that aren’t neutralized by the antibody to replicate. They are then fixed, stained, and read using a fluorescent microscope. Twenty fields are read for each dilution, and are compared against a control slide. This test is pivotal in measuring the patient’s ability to neutralize the virus, and if no vaccine or prophylaxis has been given, antibody presence can help diagnose infection. Performing

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, rabies has been in existence for over 4000 years and many countries around the world have had some exposure to it. Rabies is a viral disease that takes place in more than 150 countries around the world and it has been associated mainly with

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
