Rabies
Rabies, a fatal viral disease caused by lyssavirus type 1, inflames the brain and is primarily transmitted through bites and scratches from infected animals, particularly dogs. India faces a significant rabies burden, accounting for 36% of global deaths, with children under 15 particularly at risk due to their interactions with animals. Preventive measures include post-exposure prophylaxis and vaccination, managing cases carefully since no specific cure exists.
