Respuesta :

This finding refers to Virulence of Rabies Virus (RV).

What is virulence?

  • Virulence is a pathogen's or microorganism's ability to cause damage to a host.
  • Factors that are produced by a microorganism and evoke disease are called virulence factors. Examples are toxins, surface coats that inhibit phagocytosis.
  • Rabies is caused by a lyssavirus .
  • The major factors that determine the virulence of RV are virus uptake, cell-to-cell spread, rate of virus replication and the expression of the RV glycoprotein (G).
  • Human rabies is 99% fatal. It can be prevented by vaccinating pets, avoiding contact with wildlife and seeking medical care as soon as possible in case of being bitten by animals.
