Rhabdoviruses :
Shape:
Envelope:
Genome :
Helical
Present
RNA negative stranded
T or F
Rabies virus have a dead end host
No human to human trans
True
T or F
Rabies virus targets the digestive system
False
CNS
Development of symptoms of rabies:
- unresponsive then tremors and visual hallucinations
- calm , alert and lucid with headache and discomfort + dysphagia
- delirious state and violence
- coma and death (day 4)
Who invented the vaccine against rabies?
Louis pasteur
Genus:Lyssavirus Shape of envelope: Genome: Name of glycoprotein present: Development of disease: Genome type and size
Bullet shaped or rod shaped SsRNA negative stranded G glycoprotein (spike) Acute-fulminant(exagerated)- fatal Single stranded - RNA 12 kb
T or F
Cats and dogs are the most susceptible for rabies
False
Less likely ymut mena
T or F
Bats can’t transmit rabies to humans
False
They can
Receptor for rabies:
Viral attachment protein for rabies:
Replication:
Nicotinic Ach receptor on muscles
G spike
-ve btser positive btaamele proteins w btrjaa btser negative to make the genome (by rna dependent rna polymerases L and P)
T or F
N protein is found in the envelope of rabies virus
False
Capsid
Site of multiplication of rabies: Projection of the virus on various organs: 1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6-
Muscle/connective tissue multiplication
1- muscle (multiplication for weeks or months between myocytes and nerve ending)
2-neurons (soma)
3- dorsal ganglion of spinal cord/spinal cord
4-salivary gland (submaxillary)
5-skin
6- eye (cornea)
——- are pathognomonic for rabie and they stain ——- in soma although —– of infected people don’t have it
Negri bodies
Eosinophilic
20%
T or F
Rabies causes viremia
False
IP for rabies virus is variable because the more —— the bite is the longer the IP will be
In face:
Distal
1 week
Rabies in acute neurologic phase differs from —— to ——- , we have —— overreactivity with—–,—— and —– occurs also the patient starts—–behaviour with —-
——- is phathognomonic to rabies
Paralytic rabies dies (faster/slower)——Furious rabies leads to —–
Encephalitis to paralytic Sympathetic system Salivation Hydrophobia Aerophobia Hydrophobia (spasm of esophagus) (pathognomonic) Photophobia Bizzare Delirium Faster because of paralysis of diaphragm Coma/salivation and dilation
