Question

how is rabish caused? write about its symptoms and control measure in brief?

Answer 1

Causes

The bite of a rabid animal (an animal infected with rabies virus) is by far the most common cause of rabies. The virus is carried in the saliva of the rabid animal and is able to enter the body through an opening in the skin, such as a bite wound.

High-risk animals include:

bats

raccoons

foxes

non-domesticated (wild) dogs

Symptoms
A person may show the first signs of rabies an average of 1 to 3 months after the virus attack. Symptoms are:

pain or tingling at the bite site

a general feeling of illness

fever

headache

nausea and vomiting

depression

As the virus begins to multiply in the spinal cord or brain, neurological symptoms that appear include:

anxiety

confusion

excessive saliva production

hallucinations

high level of excitement

insomnia

paralysis of lower legs

problems swallowing due to painful throat and voice box spasms

hydrophobia (fear at the sight of water despite an intense thirst)

restlessness

You can prevent being infected with the rabies virus by remembering these tips:

do not feed wild animals and stay at a safe distance when observing them

supervise children and teach them not to approach or touch animals they do not know

stay away from animals showing signs of rabies

do not bring home wild animals

if you suspect an animal is rabid, stay away from it and contact the local authorities

if you have pets or livestock, make sure to vaccinate them against rabies.

Answer 2

Rabies is caused in human and animals due to rabies virus. This virus is transmitted from saliva of an infected animal to another animal by biting. It can also be transmitted through an exposure of wound and cut to rabies virus via saliva and other secretions.

As infection progressed, these symptoms can be experienced:

- Irritability,excessive movements or agitation.

-Confusion

- Hallucinations

- Aggressiveness

- Bizarre or abnormal thoughts

- Muscle spasms

- Abnormal postures

The only prevention against this illness is to get vaccination against rabies. Make sure, your pets are vaccinated. People live around animals are vaccinated.
