Rabies Virus

Rabies virus is a neurotropic virus that causes rabies in humans and animals. It belongs to the Rhabdoviridae family, genus Lyssavirus. Rabies transmission can occur through the saliva of animals and less commonly through contact with human saliva. RABV infection causes rabies in humans and other animals. Rabies causes inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals. Early symptoms of rabies include fever and tingling at the site of exposure, followed by one or more symptoms such as fear of water, violent movements, confusion, uncontrolled excitement, inability to move parts of the body, and loss of consciousness. The mortal rate is nearly 100% once the symptoms appear. Rabies virus, like many rhabdoviruses, has an extremely wide host range. In the wild, it has been found infecting many mammalian species, while in the laboratory it has been found that birds can be infected, as well as cell cultures from mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects.
