Introduction

Both people and animals may get the fatal, infectious, viral disease known as rabies. This illness affects the brain and spinal cord, impairing nerve impulse transmission. It is a zoonotic illness that is acquired via animal bites or saliva. Cattle, dogs, cats, bats, and mongooses are rabies virus carriers. There are two types of rabies infections: paralytic and encephalitic. The primary symptoms of the encephalitic type include hydrophobia and hyperactivity, while the paralytic form’s primary symptom is paralysis. …..please click the icon below to access entire solution at $15
