Rabies Virus : Pathogenesis, Complications, Vaccine Development, and Therapeutic Approaches

Rabies is a fatal viral zoonotic disease caused by the rabies virus, which primarily affects the central nervous system of humans and other mammals. The virus is mainly transmitted through the bite or saliva of infected animals, particularly dogs. Rabies is a fatal viral disease that affects the central nervous system of humans and
animals. It is caused by the rabies virus and is mainly transmitted through the bite or saliva of infected animals. After entering the body, the virus spreads through peripheral nerves to the brain, leading to severe neurological damage. The infection can cause complications
such as encephalitis, paralysis, and respiratory failure. Since rabies is almost always fatal once clinical symptoms appear, early prevention is essential. Current preventive measures include effective vaccines and post-exposure prophylaxis. Therapeutic approaches mainly involve proper wound care, administration of rabies immunoglobulin, and vaccination. Continuous advancements in vaccine development and treatment strategies are important for controlling rabies and reducing its global impact.
