Australian flying foxes carry Lyssavirus lady, three fatalities on record all in Queensland and the virus has been found in bat populations all over Australia. Get your facts right .. We have rabies here too. The survivers are doing remarkably well . Jeana graduated, has twins and is working . What's wrong with you?
I honestly can't blame her for this. I'm doing rabies research and I can't tell you how many scientific articles state that Australia doesn't have rabies- it has, or that rabies can't be found in Antarctica-it can, it's called artic rabies...
Great video, just about to start an essay on vaccines and I've chosen Rabies, so was looking for a video that could help me with some base info before I started Thanks!
If your bite was on the Calf area, how many weeks does it take to reach the brain? Also, if it tingles, will it take months to travel to the brain? It’s quite confusing
So glad about the squirrels!! I just rescued a young squirrel a week and a half ago, been nursing him back to health, subcutaneous saline a few days, thought he was a goner for a second, but then he bounced back. Was researching things these little critters can carry. Why is it that squirrels don’t carry it? Thanks for the video🙏😊🙏
I'm not sure. My guess is that rodents do not have an appropriate receptor for the virus so the virus can't get in, or that the host genome replication machinery is not compatible with virus replication.
I was bitten by rabbid dog in my childhood like 25 years ago. I never had any vaccine or medication then. Can i get infected now? Should I get vaccine now? Would any medicine or vaccine anger dormant virus? Thanks.
Why werent you treated then? Assuming you’re still in incubation, I guess you could try and get a shot, I’m not sure if that would work but it might save you
Should I get the shot or am I just a hypochondriac? Was in the backyard with my dad, who was brushing the pool with a broom. Evening, skies were cloudy and looked stormy to the right of where I was standing in the yard. Felt what felt like rainwater from a slight sprinkle land onto my wrist. (Which was possible, given the weather.) Looked down at my wrist, saw a slight, very tiny puff near an also miniature bullseye. Did not see anything fly at me, did not feel anything other than the, “bite.” There wasn’t any pain or itchiness, just the mark. The mark very shortly went away. Dad says that I was just imagining the wound and it was poolwater from whatever he was doing that landed on my wrist. I shouldn’t be stressed to tears that a tiny, rabid bat bit me and then flew away but here we are oh i forgot to mention - i live in gilbert, az, just to clarify
Sir dog's saliva gets into my eyes 3 months ago. can get rabies from them . My dog is vaccinated and i am also three time vaccinated against rabies in 2014 2015 2017. Can need booster for that i am worried
Are you sure about your reference about Australia? If you meant Antarctica I might agree with you. Excellent video though, actually all your videos, keep with the good work.
Bitten by an animal that “rarely “ has rabies is not grounds to deny post vaccines. Rare means nothing when it could mean a life. Drs need to stop being arrogant about that issue
In the ED it's actually like this (they work based on papers): - bat bite? => straight vaccine & Ig (if no prior vaccine) - unknown animal? => straight vaccine (if no prior vaccine) - known animal (meaning pet etc.) => observe animal 10d => if normal => dont go for rabies prophylaxis; if abn. => test for rabies - if prior vaccine: only 2 dose regimen of vaccine (no Ig)
Doctor, yesterday we rescued a rabid dog. During the process the dog shaked his head and little saliva fell on dog catcher's hand. He was using my mobile then. After that he handed over mobile to me and i used it. Is there any chance of transmission of rabies from my mobile if saliva is present on my phone.?
Ma'am I had a pet dog and while he was playing some mad dog bite him ,he was not even three months so no vaccination before but I took him to vet and get him vaccinated 3 times but he died 20 days later . He was always with me . He licks me on my face and sneeze in front of my face . I am so scared but I got vaccinated 3 doses one months back . Will I get rabies ?but my siste is not vaccinated against rabies ,the dog didn't bite her but lick. What should we do?
Dr. Richards, I tried to find information about the mass case of rabies in 1951 and I was unable to find anything. Do you have a reference to an article? Thank you.
I inherited the story of the 1951 outbreak from a now retired colleague. However, I have found this book chapter from 2004 "Historical Perspective of Rabies in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin" supports the idea that at several times between 1951 and the 1960's times there were outbreaks of wolf, dog, or fox attacks which lead to outbreaks of rabies. The chapter can be found on research gate. www.researchgate.net/profile/Luisa_Sanchez_serrano/publication/237149887_Historical_Perspective_of_Rabies_in_Europe_and_the_Mediterranean_Basin/links/00b4951b9a1a82ca68000000/Historical-Perspective-of-Rabies-in-Europe-and-the-Mediterranean-Basin.pdf
So, what is the type of class should I enroll to learn about these cases? Feels like deep stuff related to Physiology and Microbiology. This is interesting amd would like to take a course.
How is the transmission from human to human? When exactly is a human infectious for other? When the virus reaches the brain and to saliva? Thx for answering
saliva (aka bite); I assume the incub time is for humans similar like other animals (20-90d), so after that time the virus should be present in the saliva
Could I get rabies from a cat scratch(in Pakistan) where the cat peeled off Mrs dead skin meaning his claw glanced over my hands and I saw a white mark and afterwards when I washed my hand there was no wound. The cat was also eating apples and drinking milk the night before. Is there a chance?
Hello, i want to ask some question. Why human immune system can't fight the rabies virus by itself like when the immune system fight againts influenza virus. Thank you !!
The virus hides from immune system in muscle until very high viral load then used nervous system to travel up to the brain because load is so high and quickly going for the brain the immunsystem doesn’t have enough time to build lymphocytes to fight befor rabies gets to the brain. When it’s in the brain you might have fighters to now kill the rabies but the fighters can’t get into the brain like the rabies did
Thanks so much ma!
I'm a medical student, i was finding Microbiology hard 2 understand until i met u.
U r just the best
God bless u for me
Your videos are just so good, have been watching them for nearly every syllabus topic for my upcoming infectious diseases exam
Great video in explaining rabies , the virus, vaccine, treatment and symptoms of rabies, how you get it

The lyssavirus is endemic in Australia.

I thought birds can get rabies but it doesn't make them sick its a dead end

Hello Dog bite to me three years ago should I worry about a Raby virus
Can it transmitted from infected human to human
Can we get rabies by touching a bat
Go video!
