Rabies Vaccine – An Advancement In The Vaccination For Treating Various Zoonotic Disease
Rabies Virus is one of the most deadly viruses in the world. It has been known for many years that it is extremely contagious and can be spread quite easily. As soon as the virus enters the body it begins to multiply rapidly. It then attacks the nervous system causing severe inflammation of the nerves and the brain. Rabies is most commonly spread through a bite or an open cut. The first symptoms may not appear until the disease has reached an advanced stage.
Rabies vaccine has now been routinized and is offered at all clinics and animal zoos.
In the past, rabies was thought to be fatal without the use of vaccines, but
this is not the case. The rabies virus can be killed by the use of medicines or
injected into a dog's muscle mass. Today, there are two types of rabies
vaccines are available in the market; both are highly effective.
The
first of the rabies vaccines, the Vero cell vaccines, is administered using a
form of refrigerated tubes containing a lethal virus. The first of the two
types of this vaccine, the doxorubicin, was approved for use in the United
States in 1979. Doxorubicin is made from a strain of Vombes nebulous type c.
Since it is manufactured from a living virus, there is no need to store the
cooled product under controlled conditions. This makes it highly efficient in
saving the lives of dogs that have lost their ability to swim.
The
second type of rabies vaccine is the intradermal vaccine, which is administered
by injecting a harmless rabies virus into the animal's muscle mass. Since the
process does not require refrigeration, the product is very efficient in saving
many animals that have lost their ability to swim. However, this vaccine may
cause some side effects like sore throat and fatigue; these symptoms subside
within 24 hours of the last injection.
