Rabies is a deadly virus usually transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal like a stray dog. It causes fever, headaches, excess salivation, muscle spasms, paralysis and mental confusion. Once symptoms appear, rabies is nearly always fatal. However, it can be prevented through vaccination both before and after exposure to an infected animal. The document discusses the symptoms, transmission, treatment and prevention of rabies.

2. OVERVIEW
A deadly virus spread to people from the
saliva of infected animals.
Rabies is usually transmitted through
an animal bite, for example, from
stray dogs.

3. SYMPTOMS
Fever, headache, excess
salivation, muscle spasms, paralysis
and mental confusion.
Seek immediate medical attention
after a bite or suspected bite. There is
no specific treatment for rabies. Once
symptoms appear, it's nearly always
fatal. A vaccine can prevent infection.

4. HOW TO VIRUS TRAVELS
Spread though infused animal saliva.
Occurs mainly in Skunks, raccoons,
foxes and Bats, who can infect
domestic cats, dogs, livestock.

5. TREATMENT
If animal tests positive for the virus or if
animal cannot be tested, person will be
given vaccine to prevent rabies from
developing
If needed, vaccine should be given soon
after exposure.

6. Prevention
Make sure pets have current rabies
shot.
Keep pets in fenced outside the home.

7. Vaccination Schedules
The first dose of the four-dose course
should be administer as soon as
possible after exposure.
Additional does should be administered
on days 3, 7 and 14 after the first
vaccination.
Vaccination Name: Imovax

Rabid animal bets or scratches child
Virus infects central nervous system
Brain become inflamed
Virus travels into nerves, multiplies in
other organs.

Changes in attitude and behaviour
Changes in bark
Dropped jack
Excessive excitability

10. Key facts
• Rabies is a vaccine preventable viral
disease which occurs in more than
150 countries and territories
• Infection causes tens of thousands of
deaths every year, mainly in Asia and
Africa.
• 40% of people better by suspect rabid
animals are children under 15 years of
age.
