  1. Rhabdoviruses
    • (-)RNA, Helical Capsid
    • Rabies
    • - infection by animal bites
    • - invariably fatal without treatment
    • encephalitis
    • hydrophobia
    • neural degeneration
    • coma and death
    • anti-rabies Ab
    • The long incubation time allows immunization to generate antibody responses as a post-exposure treatment

    • 30%-40% produce typical acute parotitis
    • CNS involvement (50%) meningitis
    • may be associated with onset of juvenile diabetes
    • Orchitis (testicular inflammation, 50%)
    • severe in adolescent and adult males, rarely cause sterility
