Rabies virus
Disease
• Rabies virus causes an acute
encephalitis in all warm-blooded
hosts, including humans, and the
outcome is almost always fatal.
Although all species of mammals
are susceptible to rabies virus
infection, only a few species are
important as reservoirs for the
disease
Rabies family
• Rabies virus belongs to the order
Mononegavirales, viruses with a
nonsegmented, negative-stranded RNA
genomes. Within this group, viruses with a
distinct "bullet" shape are classified in the
Rhabdoviridae family.
• The genus Lyssavirus includes rabies
virus, Lagos bat, Mokola virus, Duvenhage
virus, European bat virus 1 & 2 and
Australian bat virus.
Transmission
• The rabies virus is transmitted when
infected saliva of a host is passed to an
uninfected animal. Various routes of
transmission have been documented
and include contamination of mucous
membranes (i.e., eyes, nose, mouth),
aerosol transmission, and corneal
transplantations. The most common
mode of rabies virus transmission is
through the bite and virus-containing
saliva of an infected host.

Prevention or PEP
• Preexposure vaccination is recommended for
persons in high-risk groups, such as
veterinarians, animal handlers, and certain
laboratory workers.
• Postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) is
indicated for persons possibly exposed
to a rabid animal. Possible exposures
include animal bites, or mucous
membrane contamination with infectious
tissue, such as saliva
Preexposure prophylaxis
regimen
• Preexposure prophylaxis consists
of three doses of rabies vaccine
given on days 0, 7, and 21 or 28.
Postexposure
prophylaxis regimen
•
In the United States, PEP consists of a regimen of one
dose of immune globulin and five doses of rabies
vaccine over a 28-day period.
• Rabies immune globulin and the first dose of rabies
vaccine should be given as soon as possible after
exposure.
• Additional doses of rabies vaccine should be given on
days 3, 7, 14, and 28 after the first vaccination. Current
vaccines are relatively painless and are given in your
arm, like a flu or tetanus vaccine
