how was rabbies started in india?

Answer 1

Rabies is a preventable viral disease of mammals most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The vast majority of US rabies cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) each year occur in wild animals like raccoons, skunks, bats, and foxes. Domestic animals account for less than 10% of the reported rabies cases, with cats, cattle, and dogs most often reported rabid.

Rabies virus infects the central nervous system, causing encephalopathy and ultimately death. Early symptoms of rabies in humans are nonspecific, consisting of fever, headache, and general malaise. As the disease progresses, neurological symptoms appear and may include insomnia, anxiety, confusion, slight or partial paralysis, excitation, hallucinations, agitation, hypersalivation, difficulty swallowing, and hydrophobia (fear of water). Death usually occurs within days of the onset of symptoms.

Its an ancient disease, so it has not just appeared. It is difficult, however, to estimate the global impact of rabies by using only human mortality data. Because vaccines to prevent human rabies have been available for more than 100 years, most deaths from rabies occur in countries with inadequate public health resources and limited access to preventive treatment. These countries also have few diagnostic facilities and almost no rabies surveillance.

Despite evidence that control of dog rabies through programs of animal vaccination and elimination of stray dogs can reduce the incidence of human rabies, exposure to rabid dogs is still the cause of over 90% of human exposures to rabies and of over 99% of human deaths worldwide. Reservoirs of wildlife rabies, virtually unknown in Asia and tropical regions, are also potential sources of rabies infection for dogs in Europe and North America.

Rabies is prevalent in all the continental regions of Asia, America and Africa. Greenland and many countries in Europe have rabies in their animal populations.

The virus has reached as far as Southern Jutland in Denmark, although the rest of Scandinavia, as well as the British Isles, are rabies-free. This is also true of Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

Understandably, these countries are very keen to maintain their rabies-free status. As a result there are regulations on importing animals.

From a global point of view, the WHO estimates that 10 million people a year are treated after exposure to rabies. Some 40,000 to 70,000 people are thought to die of the disease each year, many in India. Every Thirty Minutes a Person Dies of Rabies in India. The World Health Organization (WHO) in its latest ... states approximately 18,000 people in India die from rabies each year.

Answer 2

Rabies was not "started' in India by anybody. It is an old disease mankind knows and has been around since a very long time. The other answer gives you details but I wish to add that , Rabies does come from the wild animals (like fox and wolf and bats) when they bite a dog. The mode of transfer of the infection is bite. Now good post bite medicines are available and the previously used painful injections around the navel can be avoided. Wash the wound in flowing water with soap (preferably a detergent) and seek Medical assistance.

i'm not sure what to say. first, let me start by saying that india won the kargil war. the fact that nawaz sharif wouldn't back up his poorly armed soldiers in the region let to a coup in pakistan that put musharraf in power. also, china and india have their differences. that's all old news now. also, Pravda means propaganda. pakistan recently intercepted an indian helicopter, only to send the helicopter back to india after getting a misunderstanding sorted out. everything's changed now, and hopefully for the better.
