RABIES INTRODUCTION Rabies is an infectious disease of animals caused by a bullet-shaped, enveloped RNA virus, 180 x 75 nm. Man is occasionally infected, and once infection is established in the CNS, the outcome is almost invariably fatal HUMAN RABIES Is acquired from virus in saliva entering a bite wound caused by an infected animal, usually a rabid dog. The severity of the bite determines the risk of infection. The disease does not usually spread from man to man. Incubation After inoculation, the virus enters small nerve endings at the site of the bite. The virus slowly travels up the nerve to reach the CNS where it replicates and then travels down nerves to the salivary glands where there is further replication. The time it takes to do this depends upon the length of the nerve - a bite on the foot will have a very much longer incubation period than a bite on the face. The incubation period may last from two weeks to six months . Very often the primary wound is healed and forgotten by the time of clinical presentation. Clinical Presentation A) Furious Rabies When the virus reaches the CNS the patient presents with headache, fever, irritability, restlessness and anxiety.

It is located at the Wadsworth Center's Griffin Laboratory facility in the Albany suburb of Guilderland. The laboratory's primary service functions are the diagnosis of rabies in animals and the detection and quantification of rabies antibody in human serum. Veterinarians, public health officials, physicians and other professionals needing to access laboratory services can find information regarding submission of samples at this site. The diagnosis of rabies in animals is performed on specimens submitted for examination following a bite or other possible exposure to a human or domestic animal, when the confinement and observation of the offending animal is not appropriate or possible. The results of these examinations are generally used by physicians and local health authorities to decide if rabies postexposure treatment is necessary, and therefore require the highest standards of sensitivity and specificity. The results of these tests also serve to produce rabies surveillance data.

Rabies Rabies is a fatal infection of the central nervous system acquired through the bite of a rabid animal. The 100% fatality rate of this infection when left untreated, and its near global distribution (estimated 60,000 human fatalities per year worldwide), makes rabies one of the most significant and dread diseases. While endemic dog rabies is of major concern worldwide, rabies control programs have reduced the number of dog rabies cases in the United States to less than 200/year. However, a large reservoir of rabies exists in wildlife animals (racoon, skunk, bat and fox). In the United States, 26 cases of human rabies have been reported since 1990. Infection is prevented in humans by injection of rabies immunoglobulin followed by a series of injections with rabies vaccine. However, to achieve this success, it is estimated that the cost associated with rabies control exceeds hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

Currently, this species occurs only in localised areas of this range. African wild dogs are nomadic, highly social canids and form packs of up to 28 individuals with an average of around 8 - 12 members (Fig. 1). The main prey consists of antelope, which they mostly hunt down co-operatively. Packs are strictly hierarchical, each with a dominant (alpha) male and female. Usually only the alpha individuals breed, although the other members help to raise the young by bringing them food and by defending them. The average litter sizes is 7 - 10, although up to 19 may be born.
