Rabies virus appears in the saliva 2-3 days after the onset of the clinical signs
f
Lethality of rabies in humans is high
t
The resistance of rabies virus is low; it cannot survive in the environment for a long time
t
Rabies can be diagnosed by detection of antibodies in paired sera
f
Antibodies against rabies detected with ELISA confirm the diagnosis of rabies

Urban rabies has been eradicated from the Earth
f
Urban rabies is maintained by dogs and cats
t
Rabies occurs only in tropical countrie
f
Herbivores animals are generally dead end hosts of rabies
t
Rabies virus replicates in the lymphocytes
f
Postmortem examination of rabid animals is forbidden
f
Haemorrhages of the serous membranes are typical postmortem lesions of rabies
f
Rabies can be diagnosed only by using PCR
f
Post exposition vaccine against rabies can be given to ruminants bitten by foxes
t
Rabies virus does not penetrate the blood vessels
f
Rabies: one of the important symptoms is the change of behaviour
t
Rabies: one important symptom is paralysis
t
In rabies we find purulent encephalitis in negri-bodies
t
With immunofluorescence test we can diagnose rabies
t
We can diagnose rabies by antibody detection test
f
When an animal which is infected with rabies virus attacks another dog, it should be vaccinated immediately
f
Rabies is a uniform virus
f
Rabies is a resistant virus
f
Warm blooded animals can be infected with rabies
t
Rabies can be transmitted only by saliva
f
Fox rabies: we can use live vaccines
t
Since 2002 rabies is eradicated from Hungary
f
Humans can be infected by Rabies bite
t
Humans can be infected by Rabies during organ transplantst
?
Rabies virus is spreading in the infected animals peri-neural
t
Rabies virus is shed in the saliva, before appearance of the clinical signs
t
The incubation of rabies is generally less than one week
f
The rabies virus is a uniform virus without serotypes, genotypes, subtypes etc
f
High amount of rabies virus is shed in the saliva
t
The causative agent of rabies is a uniform virus, without different types or groups
f
The resistance of the rabies virus is good, it retains infectivity for several months in the environment
f
All warm-blooded animals are susceptible to rabies virus
t
Rabies virus is shed in high titre in the saliva
t
Paralysis is a clinical sign of rabies
t
Foxes are vaccinated with attenuated bait vaccine
t
Cattle bitten by rabid animals may be vaccinated post exposition or slaughtered
t
Humans can be infected with rabies, only by being bitten by rabid animals
f
Rabies virus is spreading along the nerves to the central nervous system
t
Rabies virus is shed in the saliva only after the appearance of the clinical signs
f
Focal necrosis in the liver is a typical lesion of rabies
f
Immunofluorescence test is widely used diagnostic method in the case of rabies
t
Virus neutralization test is used to the laboratory diagnosis of rabies cases
f
Dogs have to be vaccinated for the prevention of rabies at the age of 3 months for the first time
t
Increased salivation is a clinical sign of rabies
t
Always the furious form of rabies can be seen in dogs
f
Colic can be a sign of rabies in horses
t
Changed behaviour is a clinical sign of rabies of wild living animals
t
Only the classical rabies virus can cause clinical signs, the other genotypes not
f
The sylvatic form of rabies is maintained by different wild living animals
t
Rabies virus causes viraemia soon after infection
f
Saliva can contain rabies virus, before the appearance of clinical signs
t
Humans are not susceptible to European bat lyssaviruses
f
There is no haematogenic spreading of the rabies virus
f
Increased sexual activity is seen in rabid cattle
t
Dogs have to be vaccinated against rabies in the first week of life
f
Cattle bitten by a rabid animal can be vaccinated after exposition
t
The rabid bats fly during the day
t
Immunofluorescence (IF) is reliable in the diagnosis of rabies
t
Only the classical rabies virus is present in Europe
f
Urban form of rabies is maintained by the fox in Europe
f
Rabies virus is highly resistant
f
Rabies virus cannot be cultured
f
Presence of antibodies to rabies virus confirms the diagnosis of rabies
f
Detection of Negri bodies is more sensitive than immunofluorescence test, in the case of rabies
f
Virus isolation is the most widely used way of diagnosis of rabies
t
Inhalation of the virus is the main way of infection with rabies virus
f
Rabies virus is replicating in the lymphoid cells and causes viraemia before the appearance of the clinical signs
f
The incubation time of rabies is variable, generally between 2 and 8 weeks
