The rabies is a very dangerous disease and most of the time when a person or a mammal suffer from rabies, it is very difficult for them to survive. The virus of the rabies starts from one part and then keeps on spreading to other part of the brain and reaches the peripheral nervous systems and then the central nervous systems. The speed of spread of this virus varies from person to person and in some people the virus takes months to completely spread while in other people it may take months to year.  

How is rabies spread? 

The most common reason why human have rabies is through the bite of some animal who has been infected with the virus of the rabies. The virus which causes the rabies is called iyssavirus. The animals are more likely to have these kinds of the viruses. In different countries the animals who are mostly affected are different. In most of the countries, this virus is spread to the human by the dogs while in America the major reason of the spread of this virus is through the bat bites. In countries, 99 percent of the rabies cases are from the dog bites.

The animal control systems and the organizations have taken necessary steps to control the rabies viruses. The rabies vaccine have also been introduced which are very safe to use and are effective and useful as well. These vaccines have used in such a way that these could protect from the rabies before and even after you have been bitten by some animal and you are given this vaccine after it before the virus has spread then it could cure it. The rabies vaccines shots are given to create the immunity in the person against this virus. These vaccines usually have a long lasting effects but after some time it is good to have these again so that the effects do not wear off. Just like any other vaccines the shots are injected in to the skin and sometimes the muscles. Not only must the humans be vaccinated, the vaccination of dogs is necessary because these are the reason for the spread of this virus originally.
