We also present two examples of human exposure to rabid free-ranging cats that occurred in Pennsylvania during 2010–2011 and the public health actions taken to address rabies exposure in the humans and animals. We then describe the concerns surrounding the unvaccinated and free-ranging cat ...
Rabies is an acute viral disease of the central nervous system that affects humans and other mammals but is most common in carnivores (flesh-eaters). It is sometimes referred to as a zoonosis, or disease of animals that can be communicated to humans. Rabies is almost exclusively transmitted th...
Related to human diploid cell rabies vaccine:HDCV vac·cine (văk-sēn′, văk′sēn′) n. 1. a.A preparation of a weakened or killed pathogen, such as a bacterium or virus, or of a portion of the pathogen's structure, that is administered to prevent or treat infection by the pat...
rabies immune globulin a specific immune globulin derived from plasma of human donors hyperimmunized with rabies vaccine; administered in conjunction with rabies vaccine in cases of bite or scratch exposure to known or suspected rabid animals. respiratory syncytial virus immune globulin intravenous a prep...
After exposure, the rabies virus contained in the saliva is introduced into the muscle and subcutaneous tissue, in which the virial glycoprotein can bind to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (ACh) and enter the host cell.3,4 Risk of transmission can be 50 times higher with a canine bite versus...
A man in Idaho has died from rabies after exposure to a bat on his property, according to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. It marks the state's first human case and subsequent death from the viral disease since 1978. Late in August, a man in Boise County came across a ...
Rabies is a viral disease affecting the nervous system and typically transmitted by the bite of a rabid animal. In most parts of the world, the main vector for rabies transmission to humans is the domestic dog (WHO, 2016). After exposure to rabies, timely access to post exposure prophylaxis...
Recent studies suggest that human diploid cell rabies vaccine (HDCV) may not always produce acceptable titers after intradermal (id) preexposure prophylaxis. To simulate accidental deviation from the recommended route of administration and to determine the immunogenicity of smaller-than-recommended doses...
The subjects had never received rabies vaccine but would oridinarily have been given pre-exposure rabies prophylaxis. Serological results obtained during a period of 90 days after the initiation of the study justify the following conclusions: (1) the half-life obtained with RIGH is in agreement ...
