Can newborn puppies get rabies?

Dogs may be born with toxins. (False, for rabies virus, an infectious virus, it can't be born, can't be transmitted from mother to child, and can't fall out of thin air. Only when a mad dog bites your dog nearby can the dog get sick. ).

This is what the International Health Organization said.

The authoritative statement of the Rabies Research Center of the World Health Organization referred to as "WHO" is as follows:

1. Healthy dogs (cats and other animals) are not poisonous. ("Highly toxic" is a medical term, which means "infectious". "Non-toxic" here means that even if cats and dogs carry rabies virus, they are not contagious before they get sick. (no need for an injection)

2. The pathogenesis of rabies virus is that the virus attacks animal brain cells and causes rabies attacks. At this time, animals will have very obvious abnormalities and are easy to identify. At this time, the saliva of animals is toxic (virus) and contagious. If you are bitten by such animals, you must get rabies vaccine.

3. Dogs (cats) only use poison after rabies attacks. Only when a warm-blooded animal with rabies symptoms bites, it is possible to spread rabies virus to people through saliva. At this time, you need to take rabies prevention.

4. Warm-blooded animals such as dogs and cats die within 3 to 4 days after the onset of rabies. Therefore, only 3-4 days before its death is the infectious period, and it is very dangerous to be bitten. Even if you are bitten, 10 days later, this cat and dog died of rabies, you don't have to worry, because when you were bitten, you were not in the infectious period. (10 day is the safety observation period specially extended by the World Health Organization)

5. If you are bitten by a warm-blooded animal such as a dog (cat) and have obvious disease symptoms and abnormal behavior of a healthy cat (dog), you should inject rabies vaccine immediately after being bitten, and observe the cat (dog) that bit you. If the cat or dog doesn't die of rabies within 10 days, you can stop the rabies vaccine and judge that you are not infected with rabies at all.

6. Rabies has an incubation period. According to the detailed study of the World Health Organization, most of them are from 20 days to February, and the longest is 6 years. As for some cases in China, the World Health Organization expressed doubts. There is no evidence of long-term latent cases in the world, and infectious disease medical experts think it may be misdiagnosis or secondary exposure (medical terminology, secondary transmission).

7. Rabies vaccination can be delayed. (If you have been bitten for 6 years, you can rest assured. If you are not at ease, you can get another rabies vaccine, which is equivalent to an exposure (the first bite).

If you don't know, you can consult the rabies expert (researcher Zhang Yongzhen) of the Chinese Center for Disease Control. I used to panic, too After consulting researcher Zhang Yongzhen, I felt that I was too ignorant. Tel: 010-61739457; The following is a supplement for netizens:

1, healthy dogs may also carry rabies virus (so-called healthy virus rate): (Wrong, healthy dogs have no virus rate at all)

As early as half a century ago, authoritative experts and research institutions on rabies in the world obtained the infection mechanism of rabies through experimental infection and practical research. Rabies virus only appears in the saliva of animals that have been sick or will be sick within 10 days, while healthy dogs or non-sick dogs will not be infected with rabies virus even if they carry it. Once rabies in cats and dogs breaks out, 100% will die within 2-5 days (Thailand's research results have been recognized by the world).

2. Dogs may be born poisonous. (False, for rabies virus, an infectious virus, it can't be born, can't be transmitted from mother to child, and can't fall out of thin air. Only when a mad dog bites your dog nearby can the dog get sick. ).

How did the virus fall from the sky? The infection mechanism of rabies virus determines its infection characteristics. In fact, if a dog is infected with rabies, it must have been bitten by a crazy animal, and the poisonous saliva touched its exposed wound or mucous membrane. This is verified by many national rabies research centers through experiments and practice.

3. The incubation period of human rabies is 10-20 years. (international joke)

According to the research of the World Health Organization, the incubation period of human rabies is generally 2 weeks to 3 months, 99% of which occurs within one year, and it is rare to have more than 1 year, and the longest incubation period is 6 years. China's so-called examples of several long medical records are all memories of relatives and friends. (If he said that the virus invaded his brain during the attack and he was crazy, of course, his words were not credible, but most of them were memories of relatives, and the diagnosis was made without any other auxiliary investigation, and the reliability was even more doubtful. International experts believe that if this happens, it must be the wrong dog or the second exposure. There is a story circulating in Thailand, because the World Health Organization has a joint research center for rabies in Thailand, so it was quickly investigated as a rumor, and China. . . )

The rabies virus in dogs can always lurk, and animals can infect you without getting sick. (international joke)

Experiments and actual infections by the World Health Organization and cooperative authoritative research institutions have proved that the incubation period of rabies in cats and dogs is as long as 6 months. Therefore, if a cat or dog has a virus, rabies will definitely occur within 6 months. According to the research results, animal quarantine centers in many countries only isolate your puppy for six months when animals (epidemic areas) enter the country. If the dog is not sick, it not only proves that you don't have rabies, but also can't carry rabies virus. So there are no long-term latent animals or carriers, and long-term carriers are even more ridiculous. See the above questions 1 and 2 for the reasons.

5. Rabies ranks first in the incidence of infectious diseases in China (untrue).

In 2006, we know that more than 2,000 people died of rabies and hundreds of millions of people suffered from hepatitis in China. Everyone likes to check, why are hundreds of millions less than two thousand? About 65,438+300,000 people die of tuberculosis every year in China, ... more than all our infectious diseases combined. Vice Minister of Health interprets tuberculosis: 500 million people are infected with tuberculosis in China /20060324/N24246 1795. shtml)。 There are also AIDS deaths, which may not be less than rabies deaths now.

How to simply judge whether to get vaccinated after being bitten by a dog?

In fact, there is an axiom in the world, that is, if you are bitten by a dog, if the dog does not get sick and die within 10 days, you have no chance of being infected at all, because the dog or cat is not in the rabies infection period when it bites you.

2. If it is an old bite for more than 6 years, you don't have to worry, 10 years or more, there is no need to worry, you don't have a chance.

3. If you are often worried about the onset of rabies and feel that you have symptoms for more than 10- 14 days, it can only prove that you 100% are not sick, because once people have rabies symptoms, they will definitely die within 2 weeks.

4, if it is an old bite, more than 24 hours, if you find that the dog died 10 days after biting you, even if it has been biting you for 8 months, as long as you don't get sick, you can still make up the vaccine to prevent it, which is effective. (Of course, the sooner the better, but more than three years, basically is the role of comfort, your chances of attack is very small. )
