    Also important to note that rabies is not found in Australia, New Zealand or Hawaii (and maybe some other island nations, I'm not sure), which is why biosecurity is so important in these places, and you can't just take your pet with you to these places without putting them through quarantine.

    • @AtarahDerek

      But Australian bat lyssavirus, so called because so far only bats can transmit it, is closely related to and clinically indistinguishable from rabies. So I would still strongly recommend vaccinating your cats and dogs if you live in Australia. The rabies vaccine works on ABLV.

At the time, it was reported that it would take about 2 years to become fully normal after the infection and the coma treatment.

    Thing is, most of these diseases are deadly when you contract them, but their epidemic or pandemic potential is fairly low both because of the high fatality rate and because of short incubation times in the first 4 and an ungodly long incubation time in the last. SARS-Cov-2 turned into a pandemic because of its long incubation period during which people could already transmit it to others.

    I was about to breathe a huge sigh of relief. ‘We don’t have rabies in my country’. ‘Australian bat lyssavirus, closely related to rabies, was identified in a flying fox collected near Ballina, NSW’ (about an hour’s drive away from me). There have only been three cases, but all of them fatal. So that’s just excellent. Although it’s related enough to rabies that the rabies vaccine covers it.

    • @AtarahDerek
      @AtarahDerek Год назад +9

      So far, Australian lyssavirus can only be transmitted by bats. It hasn't mutated enough to be able to build up a suitable reservoir in the saliva of other animals. But if you do get infected, it's clinically indistinguishable from rabies.

      In Germany, vaccination baits were used until 2008 to immunize the fox population.
      Since 2008, the terrestrial rabies in Germany is considered eradicated.
      All that remains is the bat rabies, which, however, can not easily be treated with vaccine baits (bats rarely crawl on the ground and eat baits lying around).
      Why is this vaccine bait strategy not carried out in the US?
      Too expensive?
      Very Elaborately it is not.
      All you need is vaccine baits and you drop them off by plane over the target areas.

    Hi Hank, Filoviruses such as MARV and ZEBOV actually mutate at a very slow rate compared to orthomyxoviruses (Influenza) and retroviruses (HIV). 10^-4 to 10^-5 substitutions per site per year for ZEBOV with little genetic diversity from isolates within outbreak while Influenza has 10^-1 to 10^-2 with varied diversity during outbreaks. Just wanted to point that out, keep up the good work!

The average incubation period of Ebola is 8 to 10 days, and the average incubation period of Marburg is 5 to 10 days.

      Well the video was a little confusing as it was using the old name for the Ebola virus (Zebov).
      The Ebola virus in my opinion is a lot more dangerous, due to there is no cure for it and it pretty much you only have less than a 15% chance of living.
      Also Alanna, just like what you said, that has already happened, read a book called the "Hot Zone" by Richard Preston which is based on a true story which actually took place in Reston, Virginia.
      I will tell you this just from reading the book, I was sick, just imaging all the images of people turning to mush and blood oozing out of every possible hole of the body.
      Also on the Rabies part, the ten people who lived were people who had not taken the vaccine which is a little confusing. What they seem to include in here was the fatally rate of people without vaccines which in my opinion should not really count.
      Guess what Rabies are only Biosafety level 3, Unlike Bolivian and Argentine hemorrhagic fevers, Marburg virus, Ebola virus, Lassa virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, and various other hemorrhagic diseases (All Biosafety level 4), which should be in the top, not like the Rabies.

      Also the Ebola can be transmitted airborne as well.
