In addition, these bites can provoke infected wounds.Rabies (rabies, hydrophobia) – acute infectious disease with severe central nervous system caused by a virus. Rabies is classified as especially dangerous diseases. Symptoms in animals The duration of the incubation period (ie the period preceding the emergence of symptoms) in animals is from week to wheremonths (from time to time – years), but for 5-10 days before the manifestations of the disease is contagious animal. The sign of disease in animals in the first stages of behavior change should be considered: evil creature is gentle, lively without cause, trying to lick the owner in person, and a good – angry, irritable, is not going to call the owner, rammed in the darkand angles. Animal refuses favorite food, but swallows inedible objects (wood, stones, etc.) from time to time there is increased sensitivity to light, noise. Increased body temperature. When it comes to wild animals, rabies patients tend to go to the contact person: healthy wild animal never voluntarily go to the man and VTETh at any attempt to get closer to her. The first stage of the disease varies second – excitation stage at which animals irritability increases from ’ is anger, unhealthy dog ??attacking other animals and people, refuses food and water, barking is osyplyy, swallowing difficulty, increased salivation.

The susceptibility of people to rabies is not common (ie sick not everyone who was in contact with sick animals) and determined the general conditionom the human body, its immunity and bite. From several hours to several days, the virus is localized at the site of injury, where it spreads rapidly along nerve fibers and reaches the central nervous system. Especially dangerous bites to the face, neck and hands. The incubation period in humans is 7-90 days, and sometimesyear or more. Varying the length of the incubation period Stand ’ connected with different factors: localization bite (shorter incubation period of bites to the head, hands, longer bites in the foot), aged bitten (children shorter than in adults), type of animal that has bitten, size and depth of the wound, the dose of the pathogen, which hit the wound.
