Rabies is infectious diseases are zoonotic, which can infect
humans through the bite of a dog suffering from rabies. Rabies is a disease
that is very scary and very vicious. Rabies directly attacks the central
nervous system (brain).
Acute encephalo myelitis with very specific symptoms
and neurological disorders are clear, where the dog becomes very aggressive,
photophobia (fear of light), hydrophobia (fear of water) that always ends with
death.
Animals are sensitive and susceptible to rabies are dogs,
cats, and monkeys. Rabies animals tend to attack anyone who is nearby, and that
bothered him, especially moving objects. The average incubation period of 15-50
days. The cause is a virus that belongs to a group Rabdovirus, where the rabiesvirus is most happy living in the nerve tissue, salivary glands, pancreas and
brain.
Mode of transmission:
Rabies is always transmitted through the bite, in which the
virus is in the saliva of the dog and then get into the bite wound. All
warm-blooded animals are very sensitive to the rabies virus. The virus in the
saliva that will infect the body through the bite wound and directly attack the
brain, spreading to the salivary glands through centrifugal nerves and then
into the pancreas.
Speed in causing neurological symptoms after being bitten
by a dog suffering from rabies depends on:
a. The depth of the dog bites wounds.
b. The severity of the bite wound.
c. The location of the dog bite. The closer to the brain it
will get worse.
d. The number of dog bites wounds.
e. Malignancies and the amount of virus into the bite wound.
