Twitter @juangangel Canine rabies is a viral infectious disease that directly affects the central nervous system. This condition can be transmitted to humans through bites or scratches from infected animals. Today we'll tell you about the main causes, symptoms, treatments, and how to prevent rabies in dogs. Rabies is an acute, infectious, viral zoonotic disease. It is caused by a Rhabdoviridae virus that attacks the central nervous system, causing encephalitis with a fatality rate close to 100%. The rabies virus belongs to the Rhabdoviridae family, genus Lyssavirus type 1. It is bullet- or rod-shaped and measures between 130 and 240 nm by 65 and 80 nm. This virus consists of a single strand of RNA. Its envelope consists of a lipid layer whose surface contains five structural proteins: the G (glycoprotein) alternating with M1 and M2 proteins (matrix proteins); The nucleocapsid contains the N (nucleoprotein), NS (nucleocapsid), and L (transcriptase) proteins. The glycoprotein is the major antigenic component, responsible for the formation of neutralizing antibodies that confer immunity. However, other mechanisms may be involved in protection against the disease. Source https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabia Juan Gonzalo Angel Restrepo www.tvagro.tv
