A fast-acting shot (rabies immune globulin) can prevent the virus from infecting you. Part of this injection is given around the area where the animal bit you if possible, as soon as possible after the initial bite. A series of rabies vaccines can possibly help your body learn to identify and fight the virus. Rabies vaccines are given as injections in your arm. You receive four injections in total over a 14 day period. Cats, dogs and ferrets that are known to bite can be observed for around 10 days to see if they show signs and symptoms of rabies. If the animal that bit you remains healthy during that observation period, then it doesn't have the rabies virus and you won't need the rabies shots. Other pets and farm animals are considered on
The occupation of a veterinary physician is an arduous but rewarding career that takes many years to achieve. Without this occupation, many individuals and families would be left lacking a major source of happiness in their lives. The main items enquired about this profession are the salary and obligations of the job, the education necessary, and the advantages and disadvantages.
I choose to talk about the Rabies Vaccine. This vaccine hits close to home. Recently we received a cute black lab mixed 5-week old puppy. Now we all know in general that puppies can be very hyper individuals, but our puppy was/is more so than other puppy’s or so it seemed.
A basic understanding of vaccines, and why we vaccinate in the first place, is important. We give our pets vaccinations to protect against infectious disease. When we give a vaccine, it stimulates our pet's immune system to produce "Opposite Invaders" or antibodies. The new antibody that is produced is just for that particular virus, so if your dog or cat is exposed to the real virus at a later date, she will be able to respond quickly and produce antibodies to overcome the infection before it takes hold.
The introduction to the Rabies Vaccine had a great impact on the world. The man who invented the vaccine was Louis Pasteur. He had many specialties in his lifetime. Some of the areas of his interest were chemistry, biology and medicine. However, I believe his impact on the veterinary field was amazing.

For one thing, when rabies affects humans that have very similar symptoms of the flu, including discomfort, headache, weakness and fever, and last for days. Though it also includes itching, around the site of the bite, anxiety, and abnormal behavior—[“Rabies -sign and symptoms” Centers for Disease Control and prevention], insomnia — inability to sleep—, hallucinations — an experience of something that is not present (Dictionary), sore throats, fear of water and stiff muscles. The virus soon as it’s in the humans’ body starts to move from the arm or leg, where it was a bit, within a short period of time; it spreads though-out the body and tends to fail internal organs (Rabies Vaccine: Medline Plus Drug Information). For example, according to “National Health Service Choices” in article about Rabies. Brierlie Godfrey, who is an Australian actress living in London, was bit by a wild baboon in Morocco while on holiday. However, some animals have the some similar symptoms such as: fear of water, and change in behavior or personality. Animals also become withdrawn or aggressive. For example, wild animals may lose their fear of humans or pets may become aggressive or withdraw. Often the animal does not eat, may fear water, and have an unsteady gait (Rabies Vaccine: Medline Plus Drug Information). Last of all, these symptoms can roughly permanently fatal. According
Third, is the treatment for the rabies virus. Vaccinations is a series of shots that help prevent the virus from infecting the body (Mayo Clinic Staff). The human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) and rabies vaccine is recommended for humans and pets. People who have been previously vaccinated or have received the preexposure vaccination for rabies should receive the vaccine (Vaccines.org).
Vaccination is often considered one of the paramount successes in medicine to date. The basis of vaccination is the administration of a vaccine to stimulate an individual's immune system in development of an adaptive immunity to a pathogen. As a result of its invention, vaccination has seen diseases once commonplace in the population have become exceedingly rare and in some cases, entirely eliminated thanks to vaccination (smallpox). However, in order to effectively eradicate those typically transmittable diseases which vaccinations seek to prevent against, a certain percentage of a community must receive the vaccine—this idea is known as herd immunity. Therefore, to maximize the efficiency of vaccination, public health officials made the practice
When an animal develops rabies, usually from the bite of another animal whose saliva is infected with the rabies virus, the virus moves trans-neuronally from the site of entry to the spinal cord and brain. Due to patterns of progression, a thorough histologic examination of the brain stem is critical to rabies diagnosis. The complete brain of the animal should be submitted for testing (ADPH, 2010). Because brain tissue is the preferred specimen for post-mortem diagnosis in both humans and animals (OIE, 2011). In addition to brain tissue other specimens, such as skin and hair follicles taken at the nape of the neck, are also highly sensitive for post-mortem diagnosis (Orciari and Rupprecht, 2011). The virus might also be found in other tissues
Rabies can be prevented in domesticated animals by vaccination and by the avoidance of contact with rabid wild animals (CSFPH, 2009). The most practical and cost-effective way to end canine rabies is mass dog vaccination, which saves the lives of both dogs and humans. During mass campaigns, all dogs should be vaccinated, regardless of age, weight or state of health. Although the aim should be to vaccinate as many dogs as feasible, herd immunity is achieved by vaccinating at least 70% of the population (WHO, 2013). All dogs should be vaccinated against rabies commencing at three months of age, revaccinated with one of the three year vaccine one year later, and revaccinated every three years thereafter. And also all cats should be vaccinated
Renowned for his staggering resume of literary achievements, Edgar Allan Poe was a 19th-century writer, critic, and editor, with such famous works as The Raven and The Tell-Tale Heart. Despite his accomplishments, Poe’s personal life was far from perfect, as expressed by Charlotte Montague in Edgar Allan Poe: The Strange Man Standing Deep in the Shadows. In fact, his story reads as a turbulent tragedy stock full of poverty, alcoholism, disappointment, and unrelenting misery up until the moment he died. There was far more to Poe than meets the eye, however, as much as he is widely seen nowadays as the embodiment of the tortured artist or mad genius archetype – he was a pioneer of literature who rejected conformity and pushed fiction forward with each piece of writing he created. With his macabre style and twisted plots, Poe has left a vast and lasting footprint on modern literature as the father of science fiction, the detective story, the short story, and a master of horror.
Almost all mammals are at risk of the rabies virus. As humans though, there is not really a possible way to be totally immune from the rabies virus. Unless you totally close yourself off from any type of animal, wild or domestic, there is no way to be totally sure you won’t have even the smallest chance of getting the virus. All types of people, of all ages and in all areas are all possibly at risk of being exposed to the rabies virus. The best way to be careful and to ensure you don’t get the virus, is to make sure you stay away from animals you don’t know very much about, or animals that are acting strange.
Before vaccination could be put into place, diseases and infections could easily be prevented if the environment and situations of these refugee camps are in better, hygienic conditions in which vaccines would no longer be in such a high demand. Who would support and fund these programs however? Cambodia is making its best effort to be of any assistance and to accommodate these refugees to the best of their ability, even with the current political and economic situation. Cambodia believes this problem cannot be solved by one country alone, and the entire World Health Organization should not sleep on this issue. Cambodia currently has more refugees originating from the country rather than they have taken in, as 13,320 originate from Cambodia while the total count in which the country has taken
“I do believe sadly that its going to take some diseases to realize that we need to change and develop vaccines that are safe”(Jenny McCarthy). In the eighteenth century, there was a widespread of the smallpox disease which killed its victims and left them terribly disabled. Vaccines are scientific preperations that provide active acquired ability of an organism to resist a paricular infection. Vaccines contain agents that act as life threatening objects in the body. These agents allow the body to recognize them as so and help the body destroy it. Edward Jenner, a physician and scientist, founded vaccinology in 1796 after planting cowpox into an eight year old boy, who resisted smallpox. He inserted the vaccine into a wound in the boy’s arm.
Rabies is a highly infectious viral disease that can easily ruin and eventually end the lives of both humans and animals alike. Rabies comes in two forms for animals. It comes in the form of paralytic rabies, which is the kind that puts you in paralysis right from the beginning, skipping the symptoms of agitation and excitability. Rabies also appears in the form of furious rabies, which is completely different in the way that it makes the victim restless, vicious and agitated. When humans get rabies, their symptoms start out with simple headaches and fevers and later progresses to terrible things such as becoming hydrophobic because of painful throat spasms and paralysis. A definite diagnosis of rabies needs lab analysis of
