Q

What are the 5 steps of lyssavirus replication?

A
  • G-mediated fusion and cell entry (endocytosis)
  • Uncoating of virion and release of viral RNA into the cytoplasm
  • transcription of genees into + sense MrnA
  • Assembly of RNP and budding from the plasma membrane
  • No requirement for the nucleus

Q

What are the 6 steps of rabies pathogenesis?

A
  1. Bite- slow multiplication of virus in muscle cells
  2. Rapid transport of virus genomes in the nerve axons
  3. Rapid virus spread within the CNS
  4. Massive virus replication in nerve cells
  5. Transport in nerve axons to salivary glands and other peripheral organs
  6. Massive virus replication in the salivary glands

Q

What are the clinical signs of the ‘furious form’ of canine rabies?

A
  • Agitated/ agressive
  • Phonation
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Seizures
  • Paralysis, Coma, Death
17
Q

What are the clinical signs of the ‘dumb form’ of canine rabies?

A
  • dropped jaw
  • bone in throat
  • incoordination, paralysis and death
18
Q

Name 4 ways you can diagnose rabies post-mortem

A
  1. Fluorescent antibody test- detects virus antigens
  2. Rabies tissue culture test- detects live virus
  3. Histological staining- detects viral antigen or negri bodies
  4. Molecular assays- detects viral RNA
19
Q

What test is most preferred for ante-mortem rabies samples?

A

PCR
* highly sensitive
* used to identify/ confirm sources of infection

20
Q

How often should you give rabies vaccinations?

A
  • Boost one year after primary vaccination
  • Subsequent boost 3-5 years after
21
Q

How can you prevent rabies post-exposure?

A
  • Immediate washing of the wound in water
  • Full course of vaccination as soon as possible
  • do not suture
22
Q

What is the only group licensed to hold rabies

A

APHA
- DEFRA funded

23
Q

What do rabies virus look like?

A
  • Rod/ Wand
  • bacilliform/ bullet-shaped particle
24
Q

What transmission route has not been recognised as viable?

A

Aerosol route

25
Q

Why is rabies an under-reported disease?

A
  • Cultural influences
  • majority are undiagnosed
  • those that reach hospitals are diagnosed with other diseases
26
Q

What two things is rabies misdiagnosed for?

A
  • Malaria
  • Guillain-Barre Syndrome
27
Q

What influences the rabies control in europe?

A
  • Vaccination approach
  • Comprehensiveness of campaigns
  • Extent to which a territory is affected
28
Q

How can you control rabies in wildlife?

A
  • Multi-species reservoirs
  • host switching may occur
  • Oral vaccination
29
Q

What are the risk factors in rabies-free zones

A
  • Risk of importation
  • Political instability
  • Complacency through lack of border control
  • emerging lyssaviruses
30
Q

Can ‘rabies’ be eradicated?

A
  • Human rabies can be reduced
  • Wildlife rabies can be controlled
  • Canine rabies can be eliminated
31
Q

Why are bats not candidates for true eradication?

A

Their distribution and abundance

32
Q

What three things are used in non-traditional medicine for rabies?

A
  • Herbal remedies
  • Black porous stone
  • Ankle bracelet
33
Q

What is the incubation of rabies?

A

7 days to many months
