STBRL Key Functions Infectious Diseases Radiation Emergency Response Business Activities 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.

Wholesale Info Bat FAQ Why would I want to attract bats? Bats are important indicators of a healthy environment. Because they are sensitive to high pollution and pesticide levels, they are useful as a warning sign to potential environmental problems. Also, bats can be important weapons in combating insects that are actually dangerous to humans. A small bat can capture more than 1,200 mosquitoes in a single hour! Also, bats cannot contract the West Nile Virus by eating infected mosquitoes. Besides mosquitoes, bats can help control the populations of beetles, moths, and leafhoppers. Many insects can hear bats up to 100 feet away and will avoid those areas occupied by bats. The effectiveness of bats in some areas diminishes the need for pesticides that can harm both the pests and their natural predators. Do I have bats in my area?

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.

From the Washington State Department of Health and the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice Rabies Prevention in Washington State: A Guide for Practitioners Revised July 2001 Written by David Blythe et al. Designed and produced for the World Wide Web by Phillip Dunham June, 1998 INTRODUCTION Throughout human history, few illnesses have provoked as much anxiety as has rabies. Known as a distinct entity since at least 500 B.C., rabies has been the subject of myths and legends across time and cultures. And while the incidence of human cases in the US has declined markedly over several decades, rabies continues to inspire dread today. The recent deaths of two Washington residents from rabies and the highly-publicized discovery of bats in the Governor's Mansion have lead to heightened public concern about rabies in this state. Amidst this concern is a great deal of misinformation about the disease. This guide is designed to provide practitioners the information they need to prevent rabies. It is meant to be used by practicing physicians and other health care providers, veterinarians, local health department staff, and animal control personnel. The information contained herein is an amalgamation of the observations and recommendations of a number of agencies and organizations. It is divided into five major sections: The clinical features of rabies (in humans and other animals) The epidemiology of rabies How to evaluate encounters with a potentially rabid animal Details about laboratory testing of animals in Washington

Hilario Laya, who was born in the Philippines but had lived in Britain for several years, became ill after a trip to visit his family. A spokeswoman for University College Hospital, London, said Laya died on Monday night. The last indigenous case of rabies infection in the UK occurred in 1902. Laya was admitted to the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in London on April 30 and was moved into isolation. He was given the rabies vaccine to boost his immune response to the virus within an hour of being admitted and was then sedated. Relatives and members of hospital staff treating the patient were immunised, although the risk of transmission to humans is tiny. Other than the vaccine, there is no other treatment for the disease which is often fatal.

REFINE YOUR SEARCH rabies rabies Rabies (from a Latin word meaning rage), is a viral disease that causes acute encephalitis in animals and people. It can affect most species of warm-blooded animal, but is rare among non-carnivores. In unvaccinated humans, untreated rabies is almost invariably fatal. The stereotypical image of an infected ("rabid") animal is a "mad dog" foaming at the mouth, but cats, ferrets, raccoons, chipmunks, skunks, foxes and bats also become rabid. Squirrels, other rodents and rabbits are very seldom infected, perhaps because they would not usually survive an attack by a rabid animal. Rabies may also present in a so-called 'paralytic' form, rendering the infected animal unnaturally quiet and withdrawn. The virus is usually present in the saliva of a symptomatic rabid animal; the route of infection is nearly always by a bite. By causing the infected animal to be exceptionally aggressive, the virus ensures its transmission to the next host. Transmission has occurred via an aerosol through mucous membranes; transmission in this form may have happened in people exploring caves populated by rabid bats. Transmission from person to person is extremely rare, and can happen through transplant surgery, or (even more rarely) bites or kisses. A case of transmission via organ transplants happened in June 2004, in Texas (US), when organs from a man infected with rabies caused the death of three recipients. Rabies tests are not conducted on organs destined for transplantation.
