Rabies

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...

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) is a severe tick-borne illness caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a Gram-negative, coccobacillary bacterium. This pathogen is an obligate intracellular parasite, requiring a host cell for replication. Transmission occurs through the bite of an infected tick. In the United States, the most important vectors are Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick) and Dermacentor andersoni (Rocky Mountain wood tick), though other tick species may also serve as vectors.

Area of Science:

Pediatrics
Social Sciences
Public Health

Background:

Extreme social neglect and gender bias are significant issues in some societies.
Child welfare is a critical concern, particularly for vulnerable populations.

Observation:

Two cases of severe injuries in young female infants due to rat bites were reported.
The neonate (20 days old) had facial rat bites; the infant (9 months old) had bites on eyes and extremities.

Findings:

The presented cases serve as stark examples of gender bias.
These injuries indicate a severe level of social neglect directed towards females.

Implications:

Urgent societal interventions are needed to address gender bias and neglect.
Protecting vulnerable female infants from harm requires immediate attention and policy changes.
