Modes of transmission of rabies
1. Transmission by the bite of sick animals
p>
The most common and most important route of transmission of rabies virus is after being bitten by a rabid animal, the rabies virus invades the nerve through the wound and causes it, which is also the most easily detected route of transmission.
2. It is not uncommon for the rabies virus to be transmitted through mucosal contact with the virus instead of being bitten. The main mode of transmission of non-bite infection is that after being scratched or scratched by an animal carrying rabies virus, the virus enters the mucosa through direct contact with the mucous membrane or the virus spreads in the air and enters the mucous membrane to cause infection. For example, if the wood thorn has rabies virus left behind, it will also cause indirect infection after accidentally piercing the human body. For example, if you don’t know that the dog has rabies, you will get infected if you accidentally stab your hand during the slaughtering process.
3. Droplet transmission
In fact, it is very rare for rabies to spread through droplets in real life, generally only when the concentration of rabies virus in the air reaches a certain standard. cause infection. The virus exists in the human body for a very short time through this route, and infection rarely occurs, so you don’t have to worry too much.
4. Digestive tract infection
Some animals that died of rabies may be buried in the ground. If they are picked up by wild dogs or other animals, they may eat them accidentally. It can also cause rabies infection.
Our tips: Through the above sharing, I believe everyone understands the transmission routes of rabies virus, rabies virus will not pass through dog urine and feces spread. However, rabies is a disease that cannot be treated by current medical technology. No matter who it is, there is almost a 100% mortality rate after suffering from it. Therefore, it is particularly important to vaccinate against rabies in advance.
