Slide 1-

Rabies and Public Health History Epidemiology Pathogenesis Response
Slide 2-

History A recognized disease as early as 2300 BC Aristotle wrote about rabies in 322 BC Saliva of rabid dogs was recognized as “venomous” in the 1st century AD
Slide 3-

History First documented case in US Virginia, 1753 Colonial times-1950s Dogs highest vector risk 1960s-today Wildlife greatest reservoir
Slide 4-

Historyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Raccoon rabies: Noticed in FL in mid 50s Spread to VA in 1970s Seen everywhere but sw VA Skunk rabies Present in low levels in sw VA since 1960s

Cases of Animal Rabies, Virginia, 1999-2003

Rabies distribution
Slide 11-

Disease Transmission Almost always a bite Virus cannot enter intact skin Virus can cross mucus membranes Less efficient Breaks in skin are a risk only if wet saliva gets in wound
Slide 12-

Pathogenesis Virus enters the body Virus enters NM junctions Travels via peripheral nerves to spinal cord Then to brain stem and forebrain
Slide 13-

Disease in Animals Two major clinical types in dogs and cats Furious Restless, irritable, disoriented, seizures More common in cats Paralytic Extremity paralysis, altered bark, salivating More common in dogs
Slide 14-

The Disease in Man Initial clinical symptoms include anxiety, headache, mild fever, irritation at bite site Progresses to muscle spasms, difficulty swallowing, hydrophobia Clinical course is typically short

Slide 17-

Testing An animal involved in significant human exposure. An animal involved in significant domestic animal exposure. A bat when significant human exposure can not reasonably be determined.
Slide 18-

Significant exposure Bite Saliva contact with mucus membrane or skin break
Slide 19-

Testing Direct Fluorescent Antibody (DFA) May be used on fresh or decomposed tissue. Produces sensitive and rapid results. Considered the most reliable of all available technologies. Daily quality control steps assure accuracy.
Slide 20-

Principles of DFA Fluorochrome-labeled Antibody to Rabies Virus Rabies Virus infected Cell Labeled Antibody-Rabies Virus

Public Health Response
Slide 23-

Public Health Response Human exposed to dog, cat or ferret Observe animal for 10 days Test if illness or death w/in observation period Should be discussed with health director IS NOT DEPENDENT ON VACCINATION STATUS
Slide 24-

Public Health Response Human exposed to livestock Typically 10-14 days observation Possibly testing + Post exposure tx. (PEP)
Slide 25-

Public Health Response
Slide 26-

Public Health Response Vaccinated dog, cat or ferret exposed Proof of current immunization Immediate booster 45 days confinement Testing if signs of rabies develop
Slide 27-

Public Health Response Unvaccinated dog, cat, ferret exposed Euthanize or 6 months isolation Vaccinate one month prior to release Test if signs of rabies develop
Slide 28-

Public Health Response Expired vaccination Euthanize or 6 month isolation Vaccinate immediately and one month prior to release Depending on the circumstances, some of these animals can be considered as currently vaccinated
Slide 29-

Public Health Response Livestock exposed Vaccinated Boost and 3 months observation Unvaccinated Immediate slaughter or 6 months observation
Slide 30-

Public Health Response Wildlife exposures No observation time High risk species Low risk species Test when possible or situation warrants
Slide 31-

Public Health Response Control/Education Vaccinate dogs and cats Wildlife vaccination initiatives Animal control Avoid direct contact with wildlife Pre-exp. vaccination for high risk professions
Slide 32-

Public Health Response Control/Education Prompt attention to bites Good communication with all parties involved in follow up Prompt PEP when necessary
Slide 33-

Recent cases in Virginia 1998-unknown exposure, silver haired bat variant, prison in work program 2003-raccoon variant, no history of exposure, diagnosed 3 months after death
Slide 34-

Rabies Fun Facts Early treatments for rabies in people included: Total immersion in salt water Lighting gunpowder in wounds Blood letting
Slide 35-

Rabies Fun Facts Famous bite victims: Emily Bronte Cardinal Crescence, 1532 Rabies was eradicated from the Scandinavian countries as early as 1832 Some MDs used to advise that if a dog drank after biting, the dog could not be rabid
Slide 36-

Interesting situations Concerning non-bite exposures Bat Raccoon Goat Concerning low risk exposures Monkey
