Rabies (Genus Lyssavirus)
Most people have heard of rabies, a word that instantly conjures up imagery of a rabid dog. This is an appropriate connotation, as the rabies virus is commonly transmitted through the saliva of an animal. Rabies is as ancient as it is deadly, so let's learn more about it now.

What's insane is how we can know all this. But I've actually seen rabies in real life . . . my dog died of rabies. He was bitten by a pack of dogs who came up on our terrace. We lived in what is now DR Congo in the early 70s., and packs of dogs used to run in the streets-it was terrifying. Santana (our dog's name) was only six months old-too young to get vaccinated. So we all had to have the shots, but it was too late for Santana . . . it took him 12 days to die, and I'll remember every single one of them, although this was almost 50 years ago. I still have nightmares . . . it was such a lonely death-we couldn't go near him. We had to lock him in the garage, and that's where he died, terrified and alone. You don't want to get rabies.
I really, deeply feel the pain in your story. I'm so sorry for your memory, your loss and for Santana. There is just one thing I would like to reply to, and that is "our dog was only six months old-too young to get vaccinated." Dogs are routinely vaccinated at 3 months, so I am just curious if there is more behind what you said here?
@@___Zack___ All I recall-and this was a long time ago-is that some medical authority, probably in the American community, since we didn't regularly interface with the Congolese, was that dogs under six months can't get the rabies vaccine because they're too young. It's possible because at the time-1972-and the place-DR Congo, then known as Zaïre-the vaccine technology wasn't advanced enough, or the relevant authorities weren't in possession of the correct vaccine for young dogs . . . I'll have to ask my sister about this because her memory is sharper. But the same question has been bothering ME all these many years.
@@kamakirinoko Thank you for the detailed reply, I genuinely appreciate it. I tried to look into the dog vaccine and all I can find is the first dog vaccine was invented in 1979 in a Philippine institute. I tried to read about the difference between human rabies vaccine and those for dogs and information is quite hard to find. The best I found was from a worker at a vaccine facility stating that the main difference is the "level of purification". So I would suppose there is a chance that human rabies vaccines - which had been in use from around 1908 - were potentially used until then and they assumed 6 months was the right date as a minimum age for a dog. All of this is speculation, of course, as information is so severely limited. I hope you can find the answers you seek !
As someone who absolutely loves dogs i am really sorry for santana. Moreover he was too young to die. May his soul rest in peace
@@vrajgautam1512 I love dogs too, but ever since then something in me is too afraid to have one . . . and now it's too late. Santana's was a brief spark, but he shone so very brightly . . .
Professor Dave, you are legit there everytime I have an assignment or a subject to study. I am so thankful
Another thing I am rooting for you to explain sir is mental health disorders and computer science stuff. Thank you for this gold mine of knowledge
I watched 3 other videos trying to get the depth and breadth of information that you covered in the same amount of time. Thank you, Prof Dave!
I am absolutely terrified of rabies lol. I know that I won’t get it if I stay safe and smart, but lord it is scary
Cdc has airborne rabies in their labs. 🤫 They admit it in their February 2020 video on yt.
@@fatcat5817 they have all sorts of diseases, they are the CDC and need to have specimens of diseases to test vaccines on. One of the first steps in developing a cure of something is to get a sample to test

I am a 14 year old and I am amazed at the distance human being have come all thanks to people like you of course if it wasn't for people like you I might have been dead a long time ago because science can't do much when it dies with the scientists that worked on it I am personally a very big fan of your physics courses both the classical and modern and the astrophysics course. But I like to listen to other things because again there's no such thing as bad knowledge. I personally want to be an astrophysicist when I grow up
It’s nice to see people appreciative and thankful for scientists, unlike most idiots nowadays spreading lies and disrespecting science
@@rnomromro6715 yh man ik nd wat sucks is that people that spread these lies profit of of it nd sometimes governments make bad decisions bc of it to just appease them (germany i am looking at u dismantling all ur nuclear power plants for no reason even though it’s the best source of energy human beings have at the moment)
@@rnomromro6715 Nobody disrespects science, because by default, our selfish nature goes for what benefits us, and science does just that. What people are scared of and hate are SCIENTISTS (not science) who have let corrupt politicians get in the way and manipulate them and the results they proclaim. It is obvious that people will believe almost anything if you juse say "according to science...[insert lie here]." Corrupt politicians and billionaires have tried and could still be trying to use this for personal gain....and that's what most people are scared of, which has let to a lot of distrust. Knives are awesome in the kitchen, but robbers also know they can use it to get money out of the pockets of some people
Super explanation with solid picture and diagram A great analyse teacher
The best explanation I've heard
Thank you so much for this information sir!! ❤
Terrifying but interesting. Thank Prof Dave.
Thank you, great energy! ✨
YES THANK YOU!, i have been interested in rabies forever!!
this has been helpful
Crystal clear explanation thank you professor 🙂 But i actually like the entry song, i really enjoy every time when I whatch your videos 😅 it gives energy 😅😅
I love your intro so much HAHAHAH
Thank you new video
great as always. One thing though, at 2:44 you say ¨nucleocapsid encoded proteins¨ , encoded would not be the right term here as it refers to already translated actual proteins.
Years (I should say, decades) ago when I was school-aged, I was bitten by a squirrel. I was rushed, by ambulance, to the nearest hospital where I had six - yes, SIX - injections directly into my abdomen to prevent a potential rabies infection. That was absolutely no fun at all, but as an adult, I've learned that as painful as that was, it was better than the potential alternative. Question for you, Professor Dave: Can you explain why felines are not vaccinated against rabies? Is it because there isn't an effective vaccination, or is that one is far less likely to be bitten by a feline? Just curious. Very informative, as always. Thanks, and keep up the excellent work. I'm a big fan!
At least in canada, it's standard for cats to receive vaccination against rabies, my cat recently got a booster for it, as they're only effective a few years
As the other person said, there is a vaccination for cats (and you are supposed to get cats vaccinated for rabies). I think Dave should have clarified. "Cats aren't vaccinated" because people don't vaccinate their cats. The vaccination only lasts 1 or 3 years, so you need to come back and get it over and over. Most people don't take their cat outside, and obviously, majority of bites are dogs, not cats. So it's not as big of a deal. But yeah, he should have clarified that.
@@sorryifoldcomment8596 The vaccine for dogs needs to also be given every 1-3 years, depending on what shot was given.
Cats do get vaccinated, at least pet cats are supposed to be. However, as mentioned in the video, the problem of rabies in the U.S doesn't lie with dogs, but more likely with cats. In other words, stray cats are more normative than stray dogs. Consequently, more cats are going to contract and carry rabies as compared to dogs. There's also the fact that even pet cats are at risk because they aren't like dogs, confined to a yard. They leave the home and travel for miles at night. What do they encounter? Stray cats. But yeah
Although clinical incidence is relatively low, Lyssavirus has unfortunately become more common in Australia, especially in the state of Queensland, due to human contact with bat colonies.
Yea isnt this caused by ABLV a variant of the Rabies Lyssa virus?
Dave please make a video about Meninoccocemia (Meninoccocus Septicaemia)
Damn! That’s terrifying!
Very good and thanks ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Professor Dave did indeed explain
He really does know a lot about the science stuff.
I used to watch you in high school , now im in med school, thank you chemistry Jesus
Thank you so much
I was trying to make a joke about rabies. I got *rabid* trying to do it.
There are no jokes about rabies, pal.
@@kamakirinoko Thats why I got rabid trying to do it ;)
good luck trying to write that joke.
Horrible joke or bs you mention
This makes me mad.
Big fan
So I guess God was like Australia is deadly enough 😩
For some reason this reminded me of the "How a Plumbus is made" clip from Rick and Morty.

What is the natural reservoir host of the virus? Does it have a reservoir host? I can't imagine what kind of creature could possibly coexist with this thing.

Thank you, virology Jesus
Really thank you.
That illustration of an aged fella with the four humours looks curiously familiar 😉
ok now i start panicking about several scars i spotted days ago on my right foot.
American oppossums have a body temperature that is actually not hospitable for rabies. Still should get checked if you’re bit but still.
There is a vaccination for cats and you are legally required to get your cat vaccinated as well. It's just not done as much and not as big a deal, since most cats are kept indoors. You need to get booster shots every 1-3 years. So, if your cat hasn't gotten a rabies vaccine in the last 3 years, it will count as "not vaccinated" when polled. Keep that in mind, when I say "no one vaccinates their cat" that includes people who did actually vaccinate their cat at one point, it just ran out. (There is a 1 year shot and a 3 year shot.)
THESE WORDS ARE BIG AND I AM DUMB BUT I ENJOY LEARNING

I have been vac on 5 march i was bitten on 4 march 11:10 pm and i got vac on 5 march 7:30 pm am i fine

im my village four person was bite by dogs...first there was no symptoms but later they were feeling fear of water...they was telling that when they drink water...they see dogs in the glass water...all the 4 die...one was bite on his foot...so the docter decided to cut his feet...and so they do so...but still he die....so be aware of digs bites.😢😢
Thank you chemistry Jesus
Lmao 💀
Professer is rabies transmitted from human to human?
Actually I have recently learned we do have (Australian Bat) Lyssavirus here. It is largely confined to our bat populations. It does seemingly (since 2013) have potential to be spread humans, horses and a small number of other animals. So it's definitely best to avoid contact with bats, but if you're in Australian an you see a rabbit that looks like it wants to take you in a fight - best steer clear of that too 👍

I finely found u chemistry Jesus
Since it starts out life in the muscles, is amputation of the bit limb effective?
Unfortunately no...maybe a snakebite if it's within a few seconds
No lol. Rabies can incubate in the blood. That's how it is able to reach the brain. Even if you amputate the bitten limb, what are the chances that some rabies viruses are already in the bloodstream and spreading?
Looks like I’m staying away from my cat for a while....
I saw one of my dogs messing with something, went over to see it was an armadillo. The armadillo looked like it had been hit by a vehicle or had been attacked by something because it looked like it had some guts hanging out, but not too much that it was obvious to be guts, so not entirely sure, I didn't get close enough. That, paired with it was confused walking in circles. I was torn on whether I should shoot it to put it out of its misery, or leave it be since it could potentially survive. It scurried into the tall grass towards the edge of the jungle and I just said f it. . Anyways, now I am wondering if the armadillo had been attacked rather than hit by a vehicle, and whether or not my dog came in contact with it. My hypothesis is that it got hit by a car, but the fear of rabies is looming in the back of my head. My friends dad was bitten by a rabid fox a few years back, and he was able to get to medical treatment and survived, Thank god! It is a miracle we are alive in this hostile universe! Cherish your loved ones since you never know when a rabid armadillo might take your life lol
Hy prof Dave
I learn something new with your vids but now the roaming neighborhood cat will not get as much attencion from me 😹
Thank you Jesus of chemistry

Well, figures I suppose.
Sir u look like "Charlie Day" from "Horrible Bosses"😁😅
I wonder how much of what he's reading here does he actually understand.
I certainly understand it even though I did not write it.
Glad I live in Australia then lol
Revisit Covid-19 10 months on, see if your option has changed?
so why dos my cat need a rabies vaccine every year ?
Idk why he said that. Cats need rabies vaccine + boosters of course.
Weird, I thought l Lyssavirus was pronounced lie-sia (virus) and Rhabdoviridae was pronounced Ra ba (viridae.)
5:01 "One symptom of rabies is a fear of water. This fear is caused by the patient’s inability to swallow liquids, as the muscles controlling that action may become paralyzed due to the rabies virus"
Is there a way to know if the virus exist or no?
What?
@@ProfessorDaveExplains if someone infected what type of analysis to know it
@@oussamael2873 Oh, I'm not sure off the top of my head.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains do you know a doctor or something to contact him? please!
@@ProfessorDaveExplains if you know a channel or number of a doctor that can help me please tell me
Cats _are_ vaccinated against rabies. Sheesh.
I wanted to like twice and accidentally removed my like had to do it again 🤣🤣😂😂😂
Can it transmit through cats vomit ...because I stepped over it bare footed.
Not how it workkksssss
virus spreads through bodily fluids so i think yes but if you got an open wound on your foot its dangerous because it can spread from that wound
I subscribe because of your flat earth videos! How about we fund a program to send all flat earthers into orbit and strand them there! 😂
Please throw in the anti/vaxers too
Has an organ transplant infection actually happened?!
@@cheesepizza1775 uh theres been 1 rabies case in the US in the last year.
@@cheesepizza1775 www.cdc.gov/rabies/location/usa/surveillance/human_rabies.html
It's quite rare, but has definitely happened. The CDC site lists about a dozen occurrences. The most common route appears to be corneal transplants, but this may be just because that's among the most common transplants in general. The incubation period seems to be longer in transplant infection, maybe because the viral exposure is so tiny.

Can I get vaccinated against it now and be cool, or do I need to get infected first 🤔
Where do you live? You were probably already vaccinated for it and didnt even know
If you want to you can, but the vaccine is expensive and you need to get booster shots every few years. As long as you stay away from infected animals you should be fine. Rabies rarely spreads through the air, and even then it only happens when you are in poorly ventilated places such as in caves where bats live. If you wish to visit these places then you are advised to get vaxxed. As you know, some countries also have a higher annual caseload of rabies than others (countries in South Asia and Africa for example) so if you wish to visit these places you are also advised to get the vaccine beforehand.
prof dave please give me first heart please
the definition of tutorial has been changed like alot here apparently. i wasn't being taught to do something.... you just taught us about rabies. also a tutorial usually makes us follow along.. again you were teaching NOT instructing. side note as well, I know the term tutorial is wrong here, otherwise schools would use the term, however they use the term" Teaching/tutoring"...how do people screw up what a tutorial is? no wonder why 2021 was crap. also search Tutorials and Teachers... VERY different Results show up. or even searching guide.. they ALL use a follow along approach. You are teaching Not Tutoring/Making a tutorial.
Although love the Explanation on rabies. helped alot understanding the process of infection
Tutorial: relating to a tutor or a tutor's instruction. This is a tutorial.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait very few instances of survival? I thought there was only the one? Are there more?
ive only heard one case as well. A girl was bit by bat i believe.

I meant about the one that will be released soon~ The kill switch. Covid is a fetus compared to the lethality of my aerosolized lyssavirus. I call it The BIG Boy. February 2020 acip meeting "unfinished business". 😍

rabies GMO in to parvo.
Call it zombie virus
It's unfortunately common in Australia. Beware of politicians. 😉
yet, society is not very worried about Rabies. It also is not very contagious, I guess. why doesn't rabies spread like wild fire.
You won't get it from a person who has it because they won't be able to transmit it to you until they are at the final stages of the disease before they die. And you most likely won't go near them at that point. It is NOT contagious at all in that regard. It does spread. From animal to animal. Please watch the video again because he explains that. Aerosol droplets are only likely in bat caves where some of the population may be carrying in.
