MCQ on Rabies Virus

By
Sourav Bio

Rabies is a viral disease that affects the central nervous system and is almost always fatal if left untreated. The virus is typically transmitted through the bite of an infected animal, although it can also be transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids or tissues. The rabies virus is found in the saliva of infected animals and is usually transmitted through a bite that breaks the skin. Once the virus enters the body, it travels through the nerves to the brain, where it multiplies and spreads to other parts of the body. The incubation period for the rabies virus can range from a few days to several months, depending on the location of the bite and the amount of virus that entered the body. The most common symptoms of rabies infection in humans are fever, headache, and weakness, followed by symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, abnormal behavior, and hallucinations. If left untreated, rabies can progress to paralysis and eventually death.
