Rabies01:28

Rabies

Rabies is a lethal zoonotic disease caused by a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus of the Lyssavirus genus, within the family Rhabdoviridae. Its primary mode of transmission to humans is through bites or saliva-contaminated scratches from infected mammals such as dogs, bats, raccoons, or foxes. Transmission can also occur if infectious saliva contacts abraded skin or intact mucous membranes, including the conjunctiva.Viral Entry and Early ReplicationOnce introduced at the bite or scratch...
Arboviral Encephalitis01:25

Arboviral Encephalitis

Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Human rabies cases in China have shown a significant increasing trend in recent years.
  • The year 2007 marked a new peak in human rabies incidence.
  • Concurrent with rising human fatalities, rabies has been detected in numerous animal species across most endemic regions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the occurrence and status of rabies in both human and animal populations in China.
  • To summarize current control measures for rabies in humans and animals.
  • To present the strategies being implemented for rabies elimination in China.

Main Methods:

  • Review of epidemiological data on human and animal rabies.
  • Summary of available vaccines and immunoglobulin for prophylaxis.
  • Analysis of postexposure prophylaxis protocols for humans.
  • Examination of current rabies control and elimination strategies.

Main Results:

  • Rabies incidence in China has been increasing, with a notable peak in 2007.
  • Rabies is prevalent in multiple animal species across affected areas.
  • Information on vaccines, immunoglobulin, and postexposure prophylaxis is compiled.

Conclusions:

  • Rabies remains a significant public health concern in China, affecting both humans and animals.
  • Comprehensive control strategies, including vaccination and prophylaxis, are crucial for managing the disease.
  • The presented strategies aim towards the ultimate elimination of rabies in China.
