Rabies is a fatal viral disease spread to humans through infected saliva. It is endemic in India and most human deaths occur in Asia and Africa. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system and is usually fatal once symptoms appear. It is spread through bites or scratches from infected animals like dogs, bats, and other mammals. Post-exposure prophylaxis including wound cleaning and a vaccine series is highly effective in preventing onset of the disease if administered promptly after exposure. Diagnosis involves detecting viral antigens in tissues or the presence of Negri bodies in brain tissue after death. There is no cure once symptoms develop, making vaccination an important part of prevention.
This document discusses rabies, including:
- Rabies is a fatal viral disease spread through animal bites that is endemic in India and parts of Asia/Africa.
- It causes neurological symptoms like fear of water, paralysis, and death. The virus travels through nerves to the brain.
- Diagnosis involves identifying symptoms, exposure history, detecting viral antigens or Negri bodies post-mortem. Prevention relies on vaccination both before and after exposure. The first successful rabies vaccine was developed by Pasteur.
Wound is defined as a break in continuity of tissue that can be caused by transfer of energy either externally or internally. Wounds are classified as mechanical, chemical, thermal, or radiation-induced. Special wounds are classified by origin or bacterial contamination. Rabies is a fatal viral disease spread through infected saliva that causes encephalitis. It is endemic in parts of Asia and Africa where dog bites are a major transmission route, especially in children. Symptoms include bizarre behavior, hydrophobia, paralysis and death. Diagnosis involves antigen detection in tissues or PCR. Prevention focuses on wound cleansing, vaccination, and immunoglobulin administration based on exposure category. Post-exposure prophylaxis includes vaccination and immunoglobulin over 28-

Rabies is a fatal viral disease spread to humans through bites or scratches from infected animals. It is endemic in parts of Asia and Africa, where over 95% of human deaths occur. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system and is usually fatal once symptoms develop. Common symptoms include fear of water, paralysis, and death. Laboratory diagnosis involves detecting the virus or antibodies in samples or observing Negri bodies in brain tissue. Prevention includes pre- and post-exposure vaccination and prompt wound cleansing following exposure.
Rabies is a fatal viral disease spread to humans through infected animal bites. It is endemic in India and most human deaths occur in Asia and Africa, with over 55,000 deaths annually. Rabies virus infects the central nervous system and causes acute encephalitis. Early symptoms are non-specific but as the virus spreads to the brain, symptoms become severe and include hyperactivity, hallucinations, fear of water, and paralysis. There is no cure once symptoms appear, almost always resulting in death. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs and confirmed via laboratory tests on brain tissue detecting the virus or Negri bodies. Prevention focuses on post-exposure vaccination and avoiding contact with wild animals.

This ppt features all the basic aspects of Rabies with respect to virology. From students to teachers this ppt is handy for everyone. This includes rabies case study introduction, structure, virus life cycle, pathogenesis, transmission, symptoms, treatment and awaresess.
The rabies infection and the symptoms that accompany it is classified by five stages:
1. Incubation (1-3 months)
2. Prodromal, where first symptoms occur
3. Acute neurological phase
4. Coma
5. Death or recovery
Rabies is transmitted primarily through bites or scratches from infected animals like dogs, foxes and bats. There is no cure for rabies so prevention is key, including vaccinating animals and administering vaccinations to humans exposed to potentially infected animals.
World Rabies Day is observed annually on September 28th to raise awareness about rabies prevention and control. The date honors Louis Pasteur, who developed the first rabies vaccine. This year's theme, "All for 1, One Health for All", emphasizes unity and inclusivity in the global effort to eliminate rabies through collective action from all sectors of society. Rabies remains a fatal viral disease spread primarily through animal bites, but it can be prevented through vaccination.

Rhabdovirus causes rabies, a viral infection of the central and peripheral nervous systems that is usually fatal in humans. The virus is transmitted via bites or contact with saliva from infected animals. There are two main genera of rhabdoviruses - Lyssavirus, which includes the rabies virus, and Vesiculovirus. Rabies has an incubation period of 1-3 months on average before symptoms appear. These include fever, headache, malaise and pain around the infection site. Later stages involve neurological symptoms, paralysis, and eventually coma. Diagnosis involves detecting viral antigens in brain or saliva samples. Post-exposure prophylaxis includes thorough wound cleansing and rabies vaccines with immun
Rabies is a fatal viral disease transmitted through the bites of infected animals like dogs. It causes inflammation of the brain and is almost always fatal once symptoms appear. The virus is found worldwide except some islands. It is estimated to cause 59,000 human deaths annually, mostly in Africa and Asia. Dogs are the main reservoir with other animals like bats, foxes, and raccoons also transmitting the virus. Transmission occurs through infected saliva entering broken skin or mucous membranes. Prevention focuses on vaccinating animals to control the disease in reservoirs and providing timely post-exposure prophylaxis to people exposed through bites or other contact.
Rabies is a fatal viral disease transmitted through the saliva of infected mammals, most commonly dogs. The virus causes acute encephalitis and ultimately death. There are 5 stages of rabies infection: incubation, prodromal, acute neurological, coma, and death or recovery. Post-exposure prophylaxis includes wound cleansing, rabies immunoglobulin, and rabies vaccination to prevent the virus from reaching the central nervous system. Mass dog vaccination and stray dog control are important for rabies prevention.

What is Rabies
• Rabies is a Zoonotic viral disease Rabies
infects domestic and wild animals, and is
spread to people through close contact
with infected saliva (via bites or
scratches). The disease is present on
nearly every continent of the world but
most human deaths occur in Asia and
Africa (more than 95%). Once symptoms
of the disease develop, rabies is fatal.

12. What is a Fixed Virus
• One whose virulence and
incubation period have
been stabilized by serial
passage and remained
fixed during further
transmission.
• Rabies virus that has
undergone serial
passage through rabbits,
thus stabilizing its
virulence and incubation
period and called as
fixed virus
Dr.T
.V.Rao MD 12
13. What is a Street Virus
• Virus from a naturally
infected animal, as
opposed to a laboratory-
adapted strain of the
virus.
• The virulent rabies virus
from a rabid domestic
animal that has
contracted the disease
from a bite or scratch of
another animal, and
called as street virus.
Dr.T
.V.Rao MD 13

Raccoons,
skunks, foxes
and bats
• Dogs, cats,
cattle and
ferrets
• Humans too
Dr.T
.V.Rao MD 14
15. What kind of animals
get Rabies?
• The rabies virus can infect all
mammals.
• Mammals are warm-blooded
animals that have hair and
mammary glands to produce
milk for their babies.
• Animals like frogs, birds, and
snakes do not get rabies.

Clinical presentation –clues in
Diagnosis Leads
• In most cases, human rabies is diagnosed
primarily on the basis of clinical symptoms
and signs, and a corroborative history of or
evidence of an animal bite, death of an
animal, and incomplete or no vaccination
following exposure. The facility for
laboratory diagnosis and confirmation of
rabies, be it in humans or in animals, is
available premortem in only a few
institutions in India can diagnose.
41. Dr.T
.V.Rao MD 41
Laboratory Diagnosis
• Survival possible? May need Laboratory Diagnosis
• Clinical differentiation other cases of Encephalitis.
• Post mortem Diagnosis by
By demonstration of Negri bodies.
Isolation of virus fro Mice brain
inoculation.
tissue culture on culture lines
W 138, BHK,
PCR emerging method.
IF methods corneal impression method.
42. Common confirmatory test -
Rabies
1. The standard
premortem test
is a fluorescent
antibody test to
demonstrate the
presence of viral
antigen. The standard
post-mortem test is
biopsy of the patient's
brain and examination
for Negri bodies.
Autopsies are rarely performed.
Dr.T
.V.Rao MD 42
43. DIAGNOSIS
•Laboratory finding: ( CBC, CSF )
•Exclusion of other etiologies
•Pathology:
Formation of cytoplasmic
( Negri bodies )

Diagnostic methods
• Antigen detection by specific Immuno
fluorescence.
Ante-mortem - Conjunctival,skin biopsy
from nape of neck.
Postmortem impression from surfaces of
salivary glands Hippocampus,
Histological examination
ELISA specific antibody detection.
PCR
45. Negri bodies – A gold
standard in Diagnosis
• Inclusion
bodies called
Negri bodies
are 100%
diagnostic for
rabies infection,
but found only
in 20% of cases
Dr.T
.V.Rao MD 45
46. Negri bodies
in Brain Tissue
• Negri bodies round or
oval inclusion bodies
seen in the cytoplasm
and sometimes in the
processes of neurons of
rabid animals after death.
• Negri bodies are
Eosinophilic, sharply
outlined, pathognomonic
inclusion bodies (2-10 µm
in diameter) found in the
cytoplasm of certain
nerve ..
Dr.T
.V.Rao MD 46
47. Dr.T
.V.Rao MD 47
Emerging Methods in Diagnosis
• The reference method for diagnosing rabies is
by performing PCR or viral culture on brain
samples taken after death. The diagnosis can
also be reliably made from skin samples taken
before death. It is also possible to make the
diagnosis from saliva, urine and cerebrospinal
fluid samples, but this is not as sensitive.
Inclusion bodies called Negri bodies are
100% diagnostic for rabies infection, but
found only in 20% of cases.

under development that may provide
alternative safe and potent but less
expensive vaccine options. These include
DNA vaccines, recombinant viral
vaccines, and recombinant protein
vaccines. Further testing is needed to
determine if and which one of these novel
vaccines will make their way into mass
production and application in the future.
