The pathogen I chose for my project is Rabies lyssavirus. Rabies lyssavirus causes rabies.

There are many symptoms of rabies in humans. They include irritability, aggression, confusion, bizarre or strange thoughts, hallucination, difficulty swallowing, excessive salivation, muscle spasms, encephalitis, weakness or paralysis, and extreme sensitivity to light, touch, and sound. People may also be fearful of water.

Rabies is spread through contact with saliva from an infected animal.  This can be due to a scratch, open sore, or puncture of any kind.  Anyone can contract rabies through

The only way to prove an animal was infected with Rabies lyssavirus is to do an autopsy of the animal's brain. The animal must be euthanized in order for this to occur. However, there are signs and symptoms to look for in the animals. They include changes in behavior, hydrophobia, and extreme salivation.

If bitten by or come into contact with  an animal that might have rabies, the safest option is to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water. If you can catch the animal, medical professionals can determine if it had rabies. If not, the rabies vaccine can prevent the exposed person from contracting the virus. These vaccines need to begin before symptoms occur.

Once an animal contracts rabies, they tend to infect other animals before their eventual death.

Rabies is spread through salvia contact with a rabid animal. In the US, rabies is transmitted mostly by bats, but dogs, raccoons, skunks, and foxes may also transmit the pathogen.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for rabies.  Preventative measures are the only source of treatment. Once symptoms begin, there is no cure for the infected person.
Preventative measures include avoiding wild animals, not provoking animals that have unusual behavior, immediately contacting a doctor to take appropriate measures quickly.
