In this blog, I mentioned A Date that is the 28th of September shows World Rabies Day: “To raise awareness about rabies prevention”. Rabies is a viral Zoonotic disease and vaccines control it and main target to Central Nervous System (Brain and Spinal Cord). Rabies' genetic material is negative-stranded RNA (Ribonucleic acid). According to a survey report Rabies has globally infected 59000 worldwide. Most cases of Rabies were reported from Children (5 to 14 age group).
Mode of Transmission: it occurs in wild animals e.g. bats, raccoons, skunks, foxes, dogs all mammals (warm-blooded animals with fur/hair), etc.
Note: Pet/Livestock animals also get rabies if they do not take rabies vaccination up to date and also from interaction with wildlife.
There are two categories of Rabies Infection:
- Furious Rabies: Shows some indications like hyperactivity, Hydrophobia, Aerophobia, and hallucination.
- Paralytic Rabies: 20% of human cases have reported paralysis and coma.
One of the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) that primarily affect vulnerable, impoverished, and marginalized groups is Rabies.
What are the signs & symptoms of Rabies in the case of humans and animals?
In humans
- Flu-like symptoms (Fever, Headache, Nausea, and weakness)
- Cerebral dysfunction
- Anxiety
- Confusion
- Tingling
- Prickling

In Animals

After One week to one year from the early onset of flu symptoms, after sometimes infected with Rabies can develop a phobia or hallucinations.
How to control it?

- Keep away from outside animals.
- Wash animal bites or scratches immediately with soap and water.
- If you are bitten, or scratched by an animal, then immediately talk to your doctor and take PEP (Post exposure Rabies Prophylaxis) through this people will prevent rabies infection.
- Vaccinate your pet to protect its life and your surroundings.
- Infected areas/Wounds should be cleaned thoroughly with 70% alcohol/ethanol or povidone-iodine.
Risk: Rabies is a life-threatening/fatal and transmitted through the saliva of infected animals.
