Rabies Pathogenesis

The commonest mode of transmission in man is by the bite of a rabid animal or the contamination of scratch wounds by virus- infected saliva. Infection by aerosol transmission had been demonstrated in experimental animals and has been implicated in human infection in rabies-infected bat caverns and in several laboratory accidents. Rabies is a zoonotic disease that remains an important public health problem whole worldwide and causes more than 70,000 human deaths every year. Rabies in human always occurs as fatal disease inspite of advanced therapeutic measures. Canine rabies accounts for more than 99% of all human rabies cases and over 90% of all human post-exposure treatments worldwide.
