Rabies Virus, Symptoms, Vaccine, and Treatment Table of Contents Rabies Virus Introduction Rabies Symptoms Rabies Vaccine Rabies Treatment Introduction The history of rabies goes back to 2000 B.C. Aristotle recognized that dogs were able to transmit the infection to other dogs through bites. When a 9-year-old boy was bitten by a rabid dog in 1885, Louis Pasteur treated him with a rabid spinal cord vaccine, becoming the first human being successfully immunized, as the boy did not develop rabies. Rabies is a virus that ranks 10th in causes of mortality in the world. There are approximately 55,000 deaths annually. The vast majority of these are clearly in Third World countries. Rabies Virus The rabies virus contains 5 proteins. The virus is almost always transmitted by the bite of an infected animal, most commonly wild and domestic carnivores. There are some activities, especially cave explorers, who are more likely to come in contact with the virus, actually breathing in the virus in the dark, humid cave environment where a large number of infected bats are found. The virus is able to survive outside the host. Carnivorous animals can acquire rabies by eating infected prey and skunks have been able to transmit rabies to their young transplacentally, and there is one reported human case, where the mother was dying of rabies, and transmitted rabies to her unborn child.

WELCOME TO THE RABIES CHALLENGE FUND Letter from a Friend The Challenge Fund Team Press Release Challenge Fund Flyer ... Thank you to our supporters Welcome To Our Web Site! Message from Dr. Jean Dodds, Co-trustee About the Rabies Challenge Fund Behind The Challenge Challenge Fund Team Challenge Fund Gear ... Contacts We have raised the required funds needed to begin the study. The research has begun under the direction of Dr. Ronald Schultz and The University of Wisconsin Foundation. The new challenge is to continue to raise the funds to support year two and cover modest new costs. Continuing to raise the funds is essential so the project can continue. The Rabies Challenge Fund needs to raise a total of $1.25 million to complete the 5 and 7 year challenge studies. With your help for year two, we are another year closer to making this goal a reality! This vaccine research project to address the duration of immunity actually conveyed by rabies vaccine will be performed by Dr. Ronald Schultz, Chairman of Pathobiology at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine.The second phase of the project will finance a study of the adjuvants used in veterinary vaccines, and establish a federal adverse reaction reporting system for rabies and other vaccines. The University of Wisconsin will donate all of the necessary overhead costs for these studies which normally amount to 48% of the direct research costs. Furthermore, Dr. Schultz, the Principal Investigator, has volunteered his time in conducting the research. My staff at Hemopet are donating their efforts as well. The only monies used from the pre-grant funds were IRS fees associated with applying for non-profit status. All other monies donated to The Rabies Challenge Fund Charitable Trust will go directly to funding these studies.

Topics A-Z Reference Center Search Home ... Tuberculosis Disease Fact Sheet Series: Rabies (hydrophobia) Printable Version (PDF, 12 KB) Spanish (PDF, 14 KB) Hmong (PDF, 15 KB) What is rabies? Rabies is a viral disease affecting the central nervous system. It is transmitted from infected mammals to man and is invariably fatal once symptoms appear. Human rabies is rare in the United States, but still frequently occurs in many developing nations. The most recent case of human rabies in Wisconsin occurred in 2000; the latest case prior to that occurred in 1959. Who gets rabies? All mammals including man are susceptible to rabies. In Wisconsin, skunks and bats are the most likely animals to carry the rabies virus, although rabies also has occurred with some regularity in dogs, cats, foxes, raccoons and livestock. How is rabies spread to humans? Rabies is almost always contracted by exposure to a rabid animal. The exposure is nearly always through a bite, but rabies can also be transmitted if a rabid animal scratches a person or if its saliva comes into contact with broken skin. Because bites and scratches from bats may go unnoticed if a person is sleeping, is very young, or is mentally incapacitated, a physician should be contacted if a bat is found in the same room with a young child, or with a sleeping or mentally incapacitated adult.

The raccoon rabies epidemic beginning in 1992 posed new problems for public health officials. Since raccoons are so prevalant in rural and suburban areas, the potential for a large number of human and domestic animal exposures rose. Rabies is a viral disease that can affect all mammals, including humans. The virus attacks the central nervous system and can be secreted in saliva. Because rabies affects people as well as animals, control of this disease has become a top priority for the Bureau of Animal Health. With the cooperation of the Department of Public Health and the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, every angle of potential rabies exposures gets covered in order to prevent further rabies infections.

The rabies virus attacks the central nervous system, causing encephali tis, and is always fatal once symptoms appear. Rabies can be prevented in persons who have come into contact or been bitten by wild animals through prompt administration of anti-rabies vaccine and rabies immune globulin. Hundreds of rabies post exposure prophylactic treatments are initiated annually in Arizona to prevent rabies from developing after confirmed or suspect exposures. All bite or contact exposures to bats or other wild animals should be reported immediately to local animal control or health officials . Bites from domestic mammals except for rodents, should also be reported to local animal control.

Publication search All words Any word Rabies F.T. Satalowich College of Veterinary Medicine Missouri Department of Health J.L. Floss College of Veterinary Medicine Rabies is an infectious disease affecting the brain and nervous system of warm-blooded mammals and humans. Most people associate rabies with the "mad-dog" syndrome depicted in the movies. However, different animals will be affected differently. Rabies virus is passed in the saliva from an infected animal when it bites another animal or person. Once in the body, the virus travels along the nerves to the spinal cord and brain. The earliest sign of the disease is a change in the animal' s normal behavior. An animal with rabies usually will stop eating and drinking and will prefer to be alone. Following this, the animal may become aggressive. Some animals will become easily excited and attempt to bite or attack, while others will be attracted to and charge any moving object. This phase may be short or non-existent. As the disease progresses, this aggressive behavior diminishes. The muscles of the jaws and throat are among the earliest affected during the paralytic phase of the disease. This results in excessive salivation due to the inability to swallow, often referred to as "foaming at the mouth." Paralysis quickly spreads to the rest of the body. Coma and death follow.

In South Carolina, wild animals account for the highest number of reported rabies cases. These are raccoons, foxes, skunks and bats. Rarely infected are rats, mice, squirrels, rabbits and hamsters. How does it spread? Rabies is transmitted by a rabid animal biting a healthy one. The virus passes from the saliva of the sick animal through the wound into the healthy animal. It also can be spread when the saliva of a rabid animal enters an opening in the skin, such as a cut or scratch. Symptoms of Rabies in Animals Rabid animals appear to act differently than normal, such as: Wild animals which seem to be friendly or tame. Wild animals, which you normally only see at night, seen in the daytime. Pets which seem to have a hard time walking, eating or drinking. Signs of excitement or meanness in animals.

You can get rabies when an infected animal (often raccoons, dogs, or bats) bites you or when the infected animal's saliva touches a scrape or cut on your skin. Rabies may also be spread from person to person through organ transplantation. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Rabies is spread by infected saliva that enters the body through a bite or broken skin. The virus travels from the wound to the brain, where it causes swelling, called inflammation. This inflammation results in the symptoms of the disease. The actual time between infection and when you get sick (called the "incubation period") ranges from 10 days to 7 years. The average incubation period is 3 to 7 weeks. text continues below advertisement In the past, human cases in the U.S. usually resulted from a dog bite, but recently, more cases of human rabies have been linked to raccoons or bats. Although dog bites are a common cause of rabies in developing countries, there have been no reports of rabies caused by dog bites in the U.S. for a number of years due to widespread animal vaccination.

Rabies: Disease Transmission, Progression, and Control Disease and Discrimination Essay #1, Option #1 Introduction and History of the Disease: Rabies is a viral disease which is usually transmitted to human beings through a bite from a domesticated or wild animal. The virus affects the central nervous system, causing multiple neurological afflictions and virtually no hope of survival after the onset of symptoms. It is an ancient disease which has affected humans for many centuries. In fact, references to rabies date as far back to the third century B.C. It wasn't until the late nineteenth century, however, that its biological basis started to become apparent. A strong scientific grasp on the transmission and progress of the disease has allowed many nations to initiate public health campaigns that have nearly wiped out the incidence of human rabies throughout the developed world. Host Range and Transmission: The rabies virus infects a wide range of hosts, including raccoons, skunks, foxes, coyotes, bats, domesticated dogs and cats, and human beings. While infection can occur in any warm-blooded animal, some (such as foxes, coyotes and wolves) are highly susceptible, while others (such as opossums) are much less susceptible. Rabies is most commonly reported among domesticated dogs in undeveloped nations, especially in parts Africa and Asia. However, in nations where canine rabies has been controlled through mass vaccination protocols, wildlife rabies accounts for the vast majority of reported cases. In 1995, only 8% of sighted cases in the United States were in domesticated animals, while more than 50% were in raccoons, 22% in skunks, 10% in bats, and 6% in foxes.
