Rabies
Rabies is an acute viral infection that is nearly always fatal. Transmission is usually through saliva via the bite of an infected animal, with dogs being the main transmitter of rabies to humans. The World Health Organization has estimated the annual number of human rabies deaths to be between 40,000 and as high as 70,000. Most of these deaths take place in developing countries, particularly in South and South East Asia. In the UK the last human death from indigenous classical rabies occurred in 1902, and the last case of indigenous terrestrial animal rabies was in 1922. Most cases of rabies in the UK now occur in quarantined animals, or in people infected abroad. Since 1946 there have been 22 deaths in people infected with rabies abroad.

Rabies on the Rise
by Audrey T. Hingley After years of decline in America, a form of viral encephalitis transmitted through infected animal saliva is on the rise. The life-threatening disease is rabies. According to John Krebs, a public health scientist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, rabies cases in animals increased dramatically between 1990 and 1993. In 1990 there were 4,880 reported animal deaths from rabies; that figure jumped to 9,495 three years later. With treatment, human deaths from rabies are rare in the United States. One death in 1990, three deaths in 1991, one death in 1992, and three deaths in 1993 were recorded, with six people dying in 1994 and four in 1995 from the disease. Charles Rupprecht, V.M.D., Ph.D., chief of CDC's rabies section, says education is the key to preventing the disease. Rupprecht says only one inadequately treated person is known to have recovered completely from rabies and escaped death. "In 1970 Matthew Winkler was exposed [to rabies], treated [with postexposure vaccine], and because vaccines were not as good then, experienced a vaccine failure. He recovered despite the vaccine failure, which is a far different thing than catching the disease, [not being treated,] and recovering," he points out. "Some people question to this day whether that case meets all the criteria [of a human known to survive rabies without treatment]." Over the years, scientists have improved both the effectiveness and safety of human rabies vaccines, regulated by the Food and Drug Administration as biologics. Today's vaccines are highly effective and produce few side effects. They work by causing the immune system to produce antibodies that neutralize the rabies virus before it causes the disease. Unlike most vaccines, which are given before disease exposure occurs, rabies vaccine is usually administered after someone has been exposed to the disease. A preexposure vaccine series designed for people considered high-risk for exposure to rabiessuch as veterinarians, researchers, forest rangers, animal control officers, cave explorers, animal handlers, or those who spend time in countries where rabies is prevalentis also available.

Disease Index NJ InTouch What You Should Know About. . . Rabies How to Protect Yourself from Rabies Have Your Pet Vaccinated Against Rabies. Pets can become infected with rabies through contact with rabid wild animals. Because of this, it is important that your dog or cat have up-to-date rabies vaccinations. Because a current trend in the United States indicates that there has been a higher incidence of rabies in cats than in dogs in recent years, rabies vaccination is especially important for cats. Cats left outdoors to roam have a greater chance of exposure to rabid animals, but even indoor cats should be vaccinated, as occasionally they may get out and/or wild animals, such as bats or raccoons, may get into houses through open doors, windows, or uncapped chimneys. You should get your pet vaccinated at a private veterinarian’s office or at a free state/municipal-sponsored rabies clinic. Do Not Feed or Handle Wild Animals. Especially avoid contact with all bats, raccoons, skunks, groundhogs, and foxes. It is illegal in New Jersey to keep these wild animals as pets. Take measures to prevent raccoons or bats from entering homes, barns, garages, and other buildings. Store all trash or pet food kept outdoors in animal-resistant containers. Avoid Contact With Strays or Pets Other Than Your Own.

92. Goat VAccine Trial - Cornell Veterinary Medicine
Campaign to provide rabies protection to goats.
http://www.vet.cornell.edu/public/goatvaccine/
There are more than two million goats in the United States. However, there is no licensed vaccine in the US to protect goats from rabies. To provide some level of protection, many goat owners can now have their veterinarian vaccinate their goats using a rabies vaccine labeled for use in other species. But these vaccines are not officially approved for goats. Boards of health and fair boards in many communities do not recognize goats as being vaccinated for, or safe from, rabies - whether or not they have been vaccinated with an unapproved rabies vaccine. As a result, some localities across the country have banned contact between goats and the public - during farm tours, at county and state fairs, and at
petting zoos. How Goat-Lovers Can Help! Many Thanks to our Supporters! Research goats eating their grain. A Possible Solution - get goats on the label The Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine collaborated with an established vaccine manufacturer to seek United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approval to extend the label of their currently licensed livestock rabies vaccine to include goats. This effort was generously supported by the goat industry, goat owners and goat lovers and the Department of Agriculture and Markets of the State of New York. The aim of all involved was to protect goats and the public against rabies. The vaccine trial was conducted in 1999 and 2000. If it had been successful, the next step would have been to apply for official licensure and approval for use of this vaccine in goats.

Infectious diseases not necessarily common in Canada can occur and may even be widespread in other countries. Standards of hygiene and medical care may differ from those at home. Before departure, you should learn about the health conditions in the country or countries you plan to visit, your own risk of disease and the steps you can take to prevent illness. The risk is yours
Your risk of acquiring a disease depends on several factors. They include: your age, gender, immunization status and current state of health; your itinerary, duration and style of travel (e.g., first class, adventure) and anticipated travel activities (e.g., animal contact, exposure to fresh water, sexual contact); as well as the local disease situation. Risk assessment consultation
Health Canada strongly recommends that your travel plans include contacting a travel medicine clinic or physician 6 to 8 weeks before departure. Based on your individual risk assessment, a health care professional can determine your need for immunizations and/or preventive medication (prophylaxis) and advise you on precautions to avoid disease.

Louis Pasteur
Chemist Chance favors only the prepared mind.
Louis Pasteur
was born on December 27, 1822 in Dole, in the region of Jura, France. His discovery that most infectious diseases are caused by germs, known as the "germ theory of disease," is one of the most important in medical history. His work became the foundation for the science of microbiology, and a cornerstone of modern medicine. Pasteur's phenomenal contributions to microbiology and medicine can be summarized as follows: First, he championed changes in hospital practices to minimize the spread of disease by microbes. Second, he discovered that weakened forms of a microbe could be used as an immunization against more virulent forms of the microbe. Third, Pasteur found that rabies was transmitted by agents so small they could not be seen under a microscope, thus revealing the world of viruses. As a result he developed techniques to vaccinate dogs against rabies, and to treat humans bitten by rabid dogs. And fourth, Pasteur developed "pasteurization," a process by which harmful microbes in perishable food products are destroyed using heat, without destroying the food. Pasteur was a thorough, highly intuitive researcher who always considered the wider ramifications to his work. While he revered science, Pasteur always believed that there were spiritual values that transcend it. Pasteur was also a capable public speaker, often defending his positions on various controversies with eloquence.

What is rabies?
In Europe rabies is mainly carried by the fox. Rabies, or 'hydrophobia', is known as a disease that makes dogs sick and mad. Consequently, all dogs in many northern European countries are vaccinated against it. However, it can affect all warm-blooded creatures, including man.
Rabies is caused by a virus, which, among other things, attacks the nervous system and is excreted later in the saliva. When an animal gets sick, it may start to bite.
People are most often infected by the bite of a dog, bat or monkey. In Europe the virus is mainly carried by the fox.

Parenchymal Infections: Rabies
Gary Baumbach, M.D., Department of Pathology, University of Iowa College of Medicine
Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Rabies, an RNA virus, is most commonly transmitted by animal bites. The reservoir for the rabies virus in the U.S. encompasses a number of different animals, but is found predominantly in the skunk. Other hosts include fox, cows, and dogs. In addition, bats apparently transmit rabies without themselves being infected. Another important point is that, although small laboratory rodents can be infected with rabies experimentally, the disease in man rarely, if ever, occurs following a mouse or guinea pig bite. Microscopically, there are three characteristic findings in rabies encephalitis which will be demonstrated on the next four slides. The first characteristic, shown here , is that found in all cases of encephalitis, namely lymphocytic infiltrates concentrated in the meninges and around parenchymal vessels. The second characteristic is the typical glial nodule , another nonspecific finding seen in most types of encephalitis. The third, and virtually diagnostic, characteristic is the Negri body, which is an eosinophilic, cytoplasmic inclusion with a basophilic core. A Negri body is located just to the right of the neuronal nucleus in this photomicrograph.
