Even though rabies is not such a big threat in the west, considering that most people have complete access to rabies vaccines for pets, however, in places like India or Africa rabies is a very serious issue. This viral disease attacks the nervous system, affecting any warm-blooded animals.
It can spread through saliva, through a bite that breaks your skin, or it can even enter through an existing wound. Some statistics have shown that 40% of people bitten by suspected rabid animals are children under 15 years, while 99% of rabies transmissions are from dogs to humans. By 2030, the World Health organization hopes to get human rabies-related deaths down to zero.

This was very enlightening. I appreciate all the information that I learned about these diseases. I realize that many of these diseases can have outbreaks in India and Africa. I hope the organizations can battle these diseases in Africa and India- Doctors Without Borders, United Nations, world Health organization.
Very informative information !!!

great read!
I guess having worked in the medical field twice in my life gave me the knowledge of recognizing eight of these deadly diseases and viruses. I am not a computer genius and I know it. That leaves me wondering why, when and how Bill Gates has become an immunologist.
