Rabies: Disease Transmission and Prevention

AIDS is transmitted sexually or through blood transfusion or from mother to fetus.
Tetanus is not transmitted from person to person or from animal to person.
Hepatitis-B is transmitted through blood and infected bodily fluids.
Rabies is a fatal viral disease of mammals, most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal.
Therefore, the correct answer is option b.

A zoonotic disease is a disease that is transmitted from animals to humans. They can be caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi. Measles is a viral disease in humans. Diptheria is caused by bacterium Corynebacterium diptheriae. Leprosy is chronic infection caused by bacteria Mycobacterium leprae.
Rabies is one such zoonotic disease caused by the rabies virus of the genus Lyssavirus.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D), 'Rabies'.

The organisms or agents which are responsible for the development of a disease or any infection is known as a pathogen. The ability of the organism to cause disease is pathogenicity. The microbes like the virsues, bacteria, and fungi are known as the pathogens which cause a certain type of infection. 

Cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. This bacteria is usually found in food or water contaminated by feces of an infected person. This is most likely to happen when sewage water mixes with a source of drinking water. Drinking water after boiling helps to prevent this infection. Thus the correct answer is option B.

Pollutants are the harmful oxides or chemicals which degrade the quality of the environment and causes pollution. 

Rabies is an overwhelming encephalomyelitis and includes severe headache and high fever with excitement and depression. This disease occurs by a virus called Rhabdovirus.

Rabies is a viral infection that mainly spreads through a bite from an infected animal. It is an RNA virus of the rhabdovirus family.Once inside the nervous system, the virus produces acute inflammatiom of the brain. Coma and death soon follows. Encephelitus Rabies:This occurs in 80% of human cases. The person is more likely to experience hyperactivity and "hydrophobia".

Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals. Early symptoms can include fever and tingling at the site of exposure. Other symptoms include violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, fear of water, an inability to move parts of the body, confusion, and loss of consciousness. Rabies virus is typically transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mammal, often a carnivore or a bat.

In the United States, several distinct rabies virus variants have been identified in terrestrial mammals, including raccoons, skunks, wolfs, foxes, and coyotes. In addition to these terrestrial reservoirs, several species of insectivorous bats are also reservoirs for rabies.

Inoculation is the process of introducing a pathogen or antigen (like a vaccine) into a living organism to stimulate the immune system. Vaccination is the broader term for the act of receiving the vaccine, but inoculation specifically refers to the introduction via injection.

Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. The other options cause different diseases such as Legionnaires disease, cholera, and brucellosis.

Rabies is an acute viral disease of the central nervous system that affects all warm-blooded animals and is usually transmitted to humans by a bite from an infected dog.

Rabies causes hydrophobia in the encephalitic stage which means when it affects the brain and causes swelling and inflammation of multiple areas of the brain. Hence, it affects the complex swallowing areas in the brain. Initially into the course of the disease, the patient has involuntary contractions of neck muscles when he drinks water. At later stages of disease, the patient starts contracting his muscles even at the thought of water. Rabies virus is a neurotropic virus which means that it travels through nerves because of its preference to attach to acetylcholine receptors in the neurons. 

Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus that attacks the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Infected mammals can transmit rabies virus to humans and other mammals. Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear. People usually get exposed to the rabies virus when an infected animal bites them. Exposure may also occur if saliva from a rabid animal enters an open cut or mucous membrane (eyes, nose or mouth).

Louis Pasteur was the first person who uses the live virus in vaccination and developed the method for the attenuation of virulent microorganisms that is the basis of vaccination. He developed vaccines against cholera, anthrax and rabies. Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Louis Pasteur and Emile Roux developed the first rabies vaccination in 1885. This vaccine was first used on a human on July 6, 1885, on nine-year-old Joseph Meister, who had been bitten by a rabid dog.

Rabies is a viral disease that causes acute inflammation of the brain. Rabies is caused by lyssaviruses including: rabies virus and Australian bat lyssavirus. Rabies is spread when an infected animal scratches or bites another animal or human. Hydrophobia (fear of water) is the historic name for rabies. It refers to a set of symptoms in the later stages of the infection in which the person has difficulty swallowing, shows panic when presented with liquids to drink, and cannot quench his or her thirst. Any mammals infected with the virus may demonstrate hydrophobia. 

The rabies virus is transmitted to others through the saliva of the infected animal. All mammals can carry the virus. Humans can contract the virus through a bite from the infected animal, or from a scratch, scrape, open wound, or mucous membrane that comes in contact with the saliva. It is not possible to contract the virus by petting a rabid animal or through contact with the blood, urine, or feces of a rabid animal.

Most rabies cases are found in domestic animals, such as the dog or cat. But with the rabies vaccine now required for pets and livestock, most rabies animal cases today are found in wild animals and stray dogs. It is found most often in raccoons, skunks, bats, foxes, and coyotes. Rarely it is found in rabbits, squirrels, rats, and opossums, although it is becoming more common in groundhogs. Raccoons are a concern because they often interact with household pets.

Rabies infection is caused by the rabies virus. Rabies is a life-threatening condition that causes tens of thousands of deaths worldwide every year. Dogs are the most common source of transmitting the virus along with cats and wild animals like raccoons and bats. They are able to transfer the virus to humans via bites and scratches. 

Rabies infection is caused by the rabies virus. Domestic dogs, cats, and rabbits, and wild animals, such as skunks, raccoons, and bats, are able to transfer the virus to humans via bites and scratches. The virus causes the inflammation of the brain in humans and mammals. it affects the central nervous system.

Animal control and vaccination programs have decreased the risk of rabies from dogs in a number of regions of the world. Immunizing people before they are exposed is recommended for those who are at high risk. Immunoglobulins are effective in preventing the disease if the person receives the treatment before the start of rabies symptoms.

Rabies is a life-threatening condition that causes tens of thousands of deaths worldwide every year. It’s caused by a virus that attacks the central nervous system. The virus is transmitted to humans via bites and scratches from infected animals. The symptoms of rabies can present themselves just a few days after a bite, or they might take as long as 12 weeks. The common symptoms includes fever, headache, nausea and fear of water due to difficulty in swallowing (hydrophobia), insomnia etc.

If you are on a hike and don't have soap with you, use water alone, but wash with soap as soon as you can. If you wake up to find a bat in your room or in your child's room, call your health care provider even if you don't think you've been bitten or scratched by the bat. Bats have small teeth that leave marks that aren't easy to spot, and you could have been bitten while sleeping without being aware of it. Even if you are bitten by an animal not likely to carry the rabies virus, you should still call your health care provider.

Post-exposure prophylaxis for rabies should be initiated as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours of a potential exposure to be most effective at preventing the development of the disease.

Rabies is a disease which is caused when the infected animal bites the human. Rabies is a disease which is caused by the rabies virus. The vaccine for the treatment of the rabies was first developed by Louis Pasteur and Roux. This vaccine was developed in the year 1885 and was injected into a kid who was infected with rabies due to the dog bite.

Rabies or hydrophobia is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals. Early symptoms include fever and tingling at the site of exposure. The other symptoms include violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, fear of water, an inability to move parts of the body, confusion, and loss of consciousness. Hence, rabies is caused by the rabies virus.

Rabies is a zoonotic disease with a wide range of mammalian reservoirs. Option C provides the most comprehensive list of animals known to carry the virus.

Hydrophobia, also known as rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals. Early symptoms can include fever and tingling at the site of exposure. Rabies virus is typically transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mammal, often a carnivore or a bat. If rabies is untreated properly, 100% fatality rate is associated with infection. 

Rabies is a major public health problem in India. The disease occurs in all parts of the country except Lakshadweep islands because of lack of dogs (vector of rabies virus) in that particular region. About 7-10 thousand cases are reported every year. About 30,000 persons contract rabies and die; more than 2 million people are exposed to animals every year and about 1 million are administered anti-rabies vaccines.

Vaccines are the suspension of the live or killed microorganism which mainly activates the immune response. Louis Pasteur produced the first vaccine for rabies by growing the virus in rabbits. Pasteur was the first scientist to artificially attenuate viruses for use in vaccines. He created several veterinary vaccines before his development of the rabies vaccine in 1885 for use in humans. So, the correct answer is option C.

Zoonotic disease refers to an infectious disease, and it can be passed directly or indirectly between species such as from vertebrate animals to humans. It is transmitted to humans is rabies, and humans acquire this disease from animals (dogs, cats and monkeys). The disease (rabies)-causing agent is a virus.

Explanation: Any warm-blooded animals, domestic or wild, can carry rabies. Other animals such as birds, reptiles, amphibians, or fish neither contract rabies nor pass on the virus.

Explanation: Symptoms usually appear 30 to 90 days after exposure. Depending on the severity of the bite and the place on the body that was bitten, symptoms may appear more quickly. In rare cases, however, a person may not develop symptoms until a year or more after exposure.

Explanation: In humans it may take from as early as two weeks to as late as one year after exposure for symptoms to appear.

Explanation: Since The rabies virus is transmitted to others through the saliva of the infected animal, dont touch a dead animal; make sure your home is sealed to prevent wild animals from slipping into a basement, porch or attic; report any animals that are acting strangely to your local animal control department to prevent getting rabies.

Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals. Early symptoms can include fever and tingling at the site of exposure. These symptoms are followed by one or more of the following symptoms: violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, fear of water, an inability to move parts of the body, confusion, and loss of consciousness. Once symptoms appear, the result is nearly always death. The time period between contracting the disease and the start of symptoms is usually one to three months, but can vary from less than one week to more than one year. The time depends on the distance the virus must travel along peripheral nerves to reach the central nervous system.
