Can Rabies be transmitted to human beings??

Rabies is a viral disease that is transmitted to humans by the bite of mammals such as dogs and foxes.

Subsequent vaccination can prevent the pathogen from migrating into the brain.

If the disease has already broken out, it is fatal.
The number of deaths from rabies is estimated to be around 55,000 per year worldwide.

Top 10 Biggest Cattle Breeds In The World - Biggest Cows To Believe .... They say size matters but does it? Well, there are different ideas on this so  let’s not discuss all of that and restrict  ourselves to cattle. Now why do people domesticate cattle? While there can be many reasons for this,  the two major are milk and meat production. Keeping this in mind, you’d OBVIOUSLY prefer  the larger breed because hello, more meat!

Medical calculations, part 2, Veterinary Pharmacology Hi this is dr. Herndon and this is part two of our review of medical  calculations. In this article i will be  explaining and demonstrating how to  calculate a drug dose and how to  calculate an amount of a drug that we're  going to administer to a patient. In order to be able to do these  calculations we need to know three  things: you need to know the animal's  body weight,  the drug dosage rate, and the drug  concentration. A word about the terms  dose and dosage: these two terms are often used interchangeably. It's important to know the difference, and for our purposes a dose of a drug is  what we're going to be calculating.

A  dosage rate, however this is something we  don't have to calculate. A dosage rate is  goi
