Disease Causative Agents

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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

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.

The cattle plague, also known as rinderpest, devastated livestock in Africa during the 1890s, causing widespread famine and social disruption.

Hay fever is an allergic reaction to environmental allergens, most commonly pollen grains from trees, grasses, or weeds.

Antiseptic and disinfectants both either kill or prevent the growth of microorganisms. The main point of difference between these two is that the former (antiseptic) are used for living beings whereas disinfectants are not safe for living tissues.
