Rabies is an acute infectious viral disease that affects the central nervous system in humans and other mammals. It is caused by a rhabdovirus and is almost always fatal if post-exposure prophylaxis is not administered. Rabies is most commonly transmitted through bites from rabid animal hosts like foxes, bats, and dogs. Symptoms in humans include fever, headache, anxiety and eventually violent movements, hydroophobia, and death. Treatment involves immediately washing any wounds, vaccine administration, and possibly immunoglobulin depending on the severity of exposure.

This document discusses zoonotic diseases and focuses on rabies. It states that rabies virus is transmitted through the saliva of infected animals like dogs, bats, and other wildlife. It can be transmitted to humans through bites or scratches. Symptoms start with pain and tingling at the bite site then progress to neurological symptoms like anxiety, confusion and eventually paralysis. Diagnosis involves clinical signs, antigen detection or virus isolation. Treatment involves wound cleaning, rabies immunoglobulin, and rabies vaccines. Risk groups include animal handlers. Control involves vaccination of pets, limiting wildlife contact, and proper animal handling.
Top 3 Deadly Disease
The three deadliest diseases for children are malaria, AIDS, and the flu. Malaria is caused by mosquito-borne parasites and kills over 1 million children annually, especially in Africa. AIDS weakens the immune system and leads to death, having killed 330,000 children. The flu, particularly the deadly Spanish flu of 1918, has caused widespread outbreaks throughout history that have killed millions.
Rabies in pigs
- Swine rabies can be transmitted to pigs by dogs infected with rabies virus. In China and parts of the USA and Brazil, transmission from dogs to pigs has been reported.
- Rabies virus causes acute lethal infection in pigs. Clinical signs in pigs may include aggressiveness, neurological signs, fever, anorexia and progressive paralysis.
- Diagnosis is usually confirmed by fluorescent antibody test on brain tissue post-mortem, though PCR and ELISA methods can also be used. Vaccination of pigs exposed to rabid animals and control of rabies in dog populations is important for prevention.
Rabies - a deadily viral non curable disease
Rabies can infect many animal species and is usually transmitted to humans via bites or scratches from rabid dogs or cats. In India, over 90% of human rabies cases come from contact with rabid dogs. While there is no cure for rabies once symptoms develop, prevention through vaccination is effective. If exposed, rabies vaccines and immunoglobulin treatment administered according to a post-exposure prophylaxis schedule can prevent the disease. Responsible pet ownership through vaccination, socialization, and restraint helps control rabies' spread.
Rabies
Rabies is caused by viruses in the genus Lyssavirus. It is transmitted primarily through the bites of rabid animals like dogs, foxes, and bats. Worldwide, almost all human rabies cases are caused by dog bites, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths annually, especially in developing countries. In the US, raccoons, skunks, and bats account for most animal rabies cases. The virus infects neurons and is shed in saliva, traveling along nerves until it reaches the brain and causes fatal encephalitis. Symptoms include anxiety, paralysis, and hydrophobia. Post-exposure prophylaxis consisting of vaccine and immune globulin can prevent rabies if administered promptly after exposure.

Rabies is a zoonotic viral disease spread to humans through contact with infected saliva, usually via bites from rabid animals. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system of mammals and is fatal without treatment. Dogs are the primary source of human rabies infections, with bites transmitting the virus from the wound into the nerves and brain. Common signs of rabies in dogs and humans include fever, neurological issues, and fear of water.
Rabies
Rabies is a viral zoonotic disease that can be transmitted directly from animals to humans. It causes an acute infection of the central nervous system that leads to brain inflammation, paralysis, and death if not treated promptly. Rabies virus is found worldwide except Antarctica and is typically transmitted through bites or scratches from rabid animal hosts like bats, foxes, raccoons and skunks. Left untreated, rabies is almost always fatal.
Malaria
The document discusses malaria, including that it is an infection caused by a parasite transmitted through mosquito bites, most commonly in Africa due to its hot and humid climate. It kills approximately 2 million people per year, most of them African, though 300-500 million people are infected annually. While preventable and treatable, there is currently no commercial vaccine for malaria.

All about mosquito
1. Mosquitoes transmit a variety of deadly diseases like dengue, malaria, chikungunya, and Zika virus. The document discusses the symptoms and transmission of these diseases.
2. Only female mosquitoes bite humans to obtain blood meals that are necessary for egg development. They are attracted to heat, carbon dioxide, and scents from sweat.
3. Mosquitoes can sense humans from up to 30 feet away using heat sensors. They breed in small, stagnant bodies of water and transmit diseases globally.
Rabies
Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain. It is transmitted via saliva from bites or scratches of infected animals, mostly dogs. Rabies has been known since ancient times and was considered a serious problem in the 19th century. While still fatal once symptoms appear, vaccination is highly effective post-exposure at preventing the disease. Current recommendations include vaccination of animals to eliminate rabies in populations and informing people in endemic areas on risks and prevention.
Rabies vaccine
Louis Pasteur invented the first vaccine against rabies on July 6, 1885 in France. Prior to the vaccine, rabies was fatal for both humans and animals once symptoms appeared. While the vaccine had some side effects like fever and weakened younger dogs' ability to fight infection, its main advantage was that it could cure rabies. The first test of the vaccine was done on a 9-year old boy.

It provides details on transmission, symptoms, prevention through vaccinating animals and humans, and treatment for animal bites.
malaria
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. It is transmitted via the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. There are four Plasmodium species that cause malaria in humans. Symptoms include fever, shaking chills, and flu-like illness. Malaria poses huge social and economic burdens, especially in tropical countries, and prevention efforts focus on reducing mosquito habitats and bites. Global warming may be expanding malaria transmission zones due to rising temperatures favoring mosquito and parasite development.
Rabies by mrb
Rabies is a viral disease spread through animal bites, usually via saliva. It affects both wild and domestic animals. People can contract rabies through bites or scratches from infected animals. There are two forms - furious rabies causes hyperactivity and agitation, while paralytic rabies slowly causes paralysis. Initial symptoms are flu-like. Rabies is diagnosed through tests on blood or tissues. Untreated rabies is fatal in humans. Prevention involves vaccinating animals and prompt treatment of bites.
Transboundry Zoonotic Diseases
This document discusses transboundary zoonotic diseases from an Indian perspective. It begins by defining transboundary zoonotic diseases and providing some examples. It then discusses several major disease outbreaks and pandemics that have impacted India and the world, including plague, cholera, avian influenza, Nipah virus, and SARS. It notes factors that have contributed to the emergence and spread of zoonotic diseases, such as population growth, increased trade and travel, agricultural intensification, and environmental changes. The document emphasizes that India's large population, biodiversity, agricultural sector, and trade relationships make it vulnerable to zoonotic diseases and their impacts.
Characteristic features of a vector organism
The document discusses the characteristic features of vector organisms that transmit pathogens. It provides details about ticks and mosquitoes as vectors. Some key features of ticks that make them efficient disease vectors include their adaptability, ability to firmly attach to hosts, high reproductive rates, ability to survive long periods without feeding, and ability to feed on a wide range of hosts. The document also outlines several characteristics of mosquitoes that allow them to effectively transmit malaria, including their abundance, longevity, capacity to carry parasites, and preference for feeding on humans.
Insect, vector and rodent control

Most Common Diseases Transmitted by Rats
Rats can be one of the most annoying pests found in or around the home. Not only can they be difficult to eliminate, but they may also be dangerous as many of them carry and transmit diseases.
Rabies by martin Uwamose
Rabies is an acute viral infection of the Nervous system, caused by the virus Neurotropic Lyssavirus. The virus is commonly transmitted to man through the bite of a rabid animal. More than 3.3 billon people are at risk of rabies worldwide, with approximately 55,000 deaths estimated per year. Rabies epidermis occurs in Asia with an estimated 31,000 deaths and Africa with an estimated 24,000 deaths. Rabies virus, the agent of the disease is a member of the Rhabdoviridae family (Genus: Lyssavirus). The virus travels to the brain through the peripheral nerves causing acute encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) in warm-blooded animals (man). Early symptoms associated with the virus includes Malaise, headache and fever, progressing to acute pain, restlessness, hyperactivity, uncontrolled excitement, depression, hydrophobia, etc.
Vector Borne Zoonoses
Zoonoses (Greek “zoon” = animal) are the diseases or infections that are naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans. This group of infections constitutes significant burdens on global public health. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 25% of the total 57 million annual deaths that occur globally are caused by microbes with a major proportion occurring in the developing world (Chugh, 2008). Of total identified 1,415 species of infectious organisms known to be pathogenic to humans (including 217 viruses and prions, 538 bacteria and rickettsia, 307 fungi, 66 protozoa and 287 helminths), zoonotic agents constitute 868 (61%), with humans serving as the primary reservoir for only 3% of them. Of the 175 diseases considered to be emerging, 132 (75%) are zoonotic in origin (Taylor et al., 2001). In low income countries, established and emerging zoonoses make up 26 % of the DALYs (Disability-adjusted life year) lost to infectious disease and 10 % of the total DALYs lost. In contrast, in high income countries it represent < 1 % of DALYs lost to infectious disease and only 0.02 % of the total disease burden (Grace et al., 2012).
Vectors are living organisms that can transmit infectious diseases between humans or from animals to humans. Vector-borne diseases are infections transmitted by the bite of infected arthropod species, such as mosquitoes, ticks, triatomine bugs, flies, fleas, sandflies, and blackflies (Confalonieri et al., 2007). Among these mosquitoes are the best known disease transmission vectors for many of the fatal and diseases of economic burden. Vector-borne diseases account for 17% of the estimated global burden of all infectious diseases (CDC, 2014). Every year > 1 billion people are infected and > 1 million people die from vector-borne diseases including malaria, dengue, schistosomiasis, leishmaniasis, yellow fever, lymphatic filariasis, Japanese encephalitis and onchocerciasis. One sixth of the illness and disability suffered worldwide is due to vector-borne diseases with more than half the world’s population currently estimated to be at risk of these diseases. Global trade, rapid international travel, unsustainable urbanization, environmental changes such as climate change and emerging insecticidal and drug resistances, are causing vectors and vector-borne diseases to spread beyond borders (WHO, 2014).
rabies
Rabies is a viral disease that causes encephalitis in warm-blooded animals. It can be transmitted to humans via bites from infected animals like dogs, bats, and foxes. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system and causes disease in the brain, ultimately leading to death. Symptoms include anxiety, agitation, and paralysis that progress to delirium and death within 2 to 10 days. Diagnosis is usually done via the Fluorescent Antibody Test. Treatment involves promptly washing any wounds as well as a rabies vaccine and additional booster shots over time. Prevention focuses on vaccinating pets and avoiding contact with wild animals.
Rabies
Rabies is a viral disease that causes acute inflammation of the brain and is fatal without treatment. It is transmitted through bites from infected mammals. Early symptoms are similar to flu, but later symptoms include violent movements, hallucinations, and fear of water before death. Diagnosis involves testing tissues for viral proteins or DNA. Treatment requires thorough cleaning of wounds along with a series of vaccinations. Avoiding contact with wild animals and vaccinating pets can help prevent rabies. Immediate medical care is crucial for anyone exposed through a bite.
Rabies Awareness
Rabies is a fatal viral disease transmitted primarily through animal bites that kills over 55,000 people worldwide every year, including 200-300 Filipinos annually. It is caused by a virus that infects the central nervous system and symptoms include anxiety, drooling, hallucinations and paralysis. While there is no cure for rabies once symptoms appear, it can be prevented through vaccination of both animals and humans. The Philippine Department of Health aims to eliminate rabies in the country by 2020 through a nationwide dog vaccination program.

While most human cases are mild, some can develop vision loss, hemorrhagic fever or thrombosis. There is no specific treatment, but vaccination has been developed for animals to control outbreaks.
Rabies (2)
The document discusses rabies, including its causes, transmission, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Some key points:
- Rabies is caused by lyssaviruses including the rabies virus. It is transmitted primarily through bites or scratches from infected animals.
- Dogs are the most common source of human rabies globally. In the Americas, bat bites are more common.
- Diagnosis involves fluorescent antibody testing of brain or spinal cord tissue. Post-exposure prophylaxis within 10 days of exposure can prevent disease if vaccination and sometimes immunoglobulin are administered.
- No effective treatment exists once symptoms appear. Prevention focuses on vaccinating animals and prompt medical care after exposures.
Rabies its transmission, clinical features and prevention
Many people think that rabies is transmitted through only dog. But its not true, rabies is transmitted through not only dog, but also spread through bite or scratch from rabies infected animal like dog, bats, raccons, fox, monkeys etc.. Any open wound exposed saliva of infected animal can be potential source of infection.
Many European countries and North America have already eliminated rabies as a public health problem through mandatory vaccination of dog and good access to post exposure prophylaxis for human beings.
More than 95% of human death occurs in Asia/ Africa. And 99% of human rabies cases came from dogs. There is a small proportion of human rabies reported due to transmission via wild life (such as fox, wolves, jackels, raccoon, bats). Rabies kills more than 60,000 people each year (that is one death in every 9 minute) over 150 countries.
Important Zoonotic disease and its prevention and control By: Dr.Manoj karki
Zoonosis are those disease and infection which are naturally transmitted between animals and human. (WHO & FAO, 1959).
Zoonosis word derived from Greek word “ZOO” means Animals and “NOSES” means Disease.
One Health is not a new concept, but it has become more important in recent years because many factors have changed the interaction among human, animals and the environment. These changes have caused the emergence and re-emergence of many disease.
African horse sickness
African horse sickness is a highly infectious, noncontagious, insect transmitted disease affecting all species of Equidae
Leptospiros
Leptospirosis is caused by Leptospira bacteria transmitted from infected animals to humans through contact with urine contaminated environments. It causes a range of symptoms from mild fever to severe disease impacting the liver and kidneys. Rats and mice are major reservoirs and transmit the bacteria through their urine, infecting livestock, pets, and people who come into contact with contaminated areas. Diagnosis involves culture, microscopy, serological tests and new rapid tests to detect antibodies in blood and urine.
Health hazards to livestock Allah Dad Khan
Animal interactions can pose health risks to humans. Bites and scratches from domestic or wild animals may lead to infections from rabies, tetanus, or bacteria. Monkeys can transmit the herpes B virus. Bats and rodents can transmit viruses like rabies. Snake bites pose risks to sheep, goats, and cattle. Insect bites can cause illness. Contact with sick birds risks avian influenza. Proper precautions and protective measures should be taken when interacting with animals.
What is rabies
Rabies is a viral disease transmitted through animal bites that infects the central nervous system. It is caused by rabies virus which belongs to the Rhabdoviridae family of viruses. The bullet-shaped virus enters through wounds or mucous membranes. Initial symptoms may resemble the flu but later include anxiety, confusion and insomnia. Once symptoms develop, rabies is almost always fatal. India accounts for about 20,000 of the 50,000 annual rabies deaths worldwide. The virus travels via nerve cells to the brain and is shed in saliva, perpetuating transmission through bites.
Rabies in HUMANS AND ANIMALS
Rabies is a fatal viral disease that affects the central nervous system of humans and other mammals. It is transmitted primarily through bites from rabid animals. Common symptoms in humans include anxiety, confusion, and difficulty swallowing. While vaccination can prevent rabies in exposed individuals, it is usually fatal once symptoms appear. Control methods focus on vaccinating domestic animals and managing wild animal populations through oral vaccines.
Anthrax
Anthrax is a bacterial disease caused by Bacillus anthracis that primarily affects herbivores worldwide. Humans can contract anthrax through contact with infected animal products like hides, hair or wool. The bacteria forms spores that can survive in soil for decades and become airborne, posing an inhalation risk for workers processing infected materials. Most human cases are the cutaneous form, appearing as a small skin lesion that progresses to a black eschar surrounded by edema. While rare, person-to-person transmission is possible through contact with contaminated articles or soil.
Rabies Infection
Rabies is a fatal viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain. It is transmitted primarily through bites from infected animals like dogs, bats, and wolves. Notable points in the history of rabies include Louis Pasteur developing the first vaccine in 1890. Rabies virus targets the central nervous system and symptoms include hydrophobia, increased salivation, and death. Dogs are a major reservoir and transmission can occur through bites or contact with their saliva. Post-exposure prophylaxis includes wound cleansing and a vaccine series, while pre-exposure vaccination provides protection for those at high risk of exposure.
Arbovirus An Overview
This document provides an overview of arboviruses, which are RNA viruses transmitted by arthropod vectors like mosquitoes and ticks. It discusses several major arbovirus types including flaviviruses, togaviruses, and bunyaviruses. Key aspects summarized are:
1. Arboviruses can infect both humans and animals, with transmission occurring via bites from infected mosquitoes, ticks, or sandflies.
2. Major arboviruses described include yellow fever, dengue, West Nile, Japanese encephalitis, Zika, and chikungunya viruses. Symptoms range from mild fever and rash to severe encephalitis or hemorrhagic fever
Zoonotic disease introduction
Zoonoses :- derived from the Greek words
Zoon- Animal & Noson – Disease
Zoonoses was coined and first used by Rudolf Virchow who defined it for communicable diseases.
Diseases and infections which are naturally transmitted between vertebrate animals and humans - WHO 1959
Of the 1415 microbial diseases affecting humans, 61% are zoonotic with 13% species regarded as emerging or reemerging
Link b/w human & animals with their surrounding are very close especially in developing countries
Japanese Encephalitis
Japanese encephalitis is a mosquito-borne viral disease that infects horses, pigs, and humans. It is caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus, a flavivirus transmitted primarily by Culex mosquitoes. The disease is endemic in parts of Asia and the Pacific. Birds act as the natural reservoir host and pigs amplify the virus. Humans and horses are dead-end hosts and can experience neurological symptoms. There is no treatment for the virus and vaccination is the most effective way to prevent disease in humans and animals.

- Over 250 known zoonotic diseases ranging from mild to fatal illnesses. Common zoonoses include salmonellosis, Lyme disease, and West Nile virus.
- Diseases are transmitted through various routes such as direct contact, bites, food/water, fomites, and vectors like fleas and ticks.
- At risk groups include those working with animals, in agriculture, recreationally exposed to wildlife, and travelers. Animal reservoirs include dogs, cats, food animals, birds, and wild rodents.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Ketone bodies and metabolism-biochemistry

Rabies
- 2. INTRODUCTION Rabies was describe]d by Girolamo Fracastoro in 1530. Rabies is an acute infectious disease characterized by abnormal behaviour, nervous disturbances, ascending paralysis followed by death. All warm blooded animals are affected including man. Rabies virus is member of rhabdovirus of the gene of the lyssavirus It is also preventable disease. SYNONYMS Hydrophobia Lyssa Mad dog
- 3. host Extremely susceptible: Fox, wolf and jackal. Highly susceptible: Guinea pig, Bat, Mongoose, mice , rabbit, skunk and cattle. Moderately susceptible: Dog, sheep, goat, horse and human. Resistant: Poultry and opossum
- 4. MODE OF TRANSMITION The general mode of infection is through the bite of infected animals. The carcass of an infected wild dead animal can still transmit the disease to human or to other animals, if humans or animals are exposed to it. Infected domestic farm animals, cats and infected dogs can do transmit the disease to human. The virus is present in the nerve and saliva of infected rabid animals. Human to human transmission is very rare.
- 5. Nonspecificsymptoms Fever Anorexia Headache Sore throat Increasing nervousness Anxiety General weakness or discomfort RABID SYMPTOMS Violent movement uncontrolled excitement Depression Hydrophobia Psycho-maniac disorder Lethargy Coma Death
- 6. treatment 1. Immediate wash the wound with soap and water. 2. Disinfection of the wound with a suitable disinfectant. 3. Administration of anti-rabies vaccine. 4. The use of immunoglobulins is considered depending on the severity of the wounds
- 7. MEASURETODOAFTERANHEALTHYANIMALBITESSOMEONE Quarantine the pet for 10 days. Observe if the pet does not develop a disease If the animal become ill, it is important to get rabid shuts.
