Rabies Viral Disease

Write about a condition caused by an insect or animal's bite   Z-Type Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals. Early symptoms can include fever and tingling at the site of exposure (for example animal byte or scratch). These symptoms are followed by one or more of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, fear of water, an inability to move parts of the body, confusion, and loss of consciousness. Once symptoms appear, the result is virtually always death, regardless of treatment. The time period between contracting the disease and the start of symptoms is usually one to three days but can vary on the distance the virus must travel along peripheral nerves to reach the central nervous system or the level different hormones during the time of incubation of the virus. After cardiac death of the subject infected there is most of the times a window of 4 to 10 hours before a special kind of genome (which remains dormant until circolatory death of the subject) jumpstarts the limbic system of the host and apparently control its actions for a small amount of time to cause the spread of the virus amongs packs of animals or human communities. Dipendently on the conservation of the brain after circolatory death, the host can display various kind of more or less intelligent and indirect dangerous behaviours. An equipe of asian scientists supervised by Doc. Takeshi Zamboni even submitted a report of an experiment conducted illegally on a fellow researcher of their team. They claim to have conserved the brain of the subject intact at low temperatures until the riviving of him due to the illness and claim to have been able to conduct a rational discussion with him where the subject referred to himself as a kind of hive intelligence. The subject died of brain degradation not long after that, but the equipe of Doc. Zamboni claims they would have been able to artificially keep him alive for undetermined span of time if it wasn't for the moral implications of the illegal experiment. The edited video of the interview was than spread as NFT on the South East Scientific D.A.O. to rise awarness on this dangerous illness potentially pandemic for many communities. Due to the very graphic nature of the video, however, it was by many compared to Snuff movies and branded ad fake.                                                      Rabies is caused by lyssaviruses, but Z-type was never recorded in the scientific database until the last years. Its biological structure is very difficult to conceive thou. At a first analys scientists discovered that the Rabies Genome of this virus is almost encrypted in an enormous amount of garbage DNA. This DNA is also carried by a structure, similar to a fever virus that seems artificially built like somekind of nanomachine and is, therefore, impossible to be detected by the immune system. This kind of "suit" that the virus wears, makes it also more resistant to open environment and scientists believe the virus could also be spread by inhaling of spores coming from rotten corpses. Normally, the virus is spread when an infected animal or infected subject bites or scratches a human or other animals. Saliva from an infected animal can also transmit rabies if the saliva comes into contact with the eyes, mouth, or high respiratory ways. Globally, dogs and humans are the most common animal involved. In communities or territories where dogs commonly have the disease, more than 99% of rabies cases are the direct result of dog or human bites. In the ex-Americas, human bites are the most common source of rabies infections in humans, and less than 5% of cases are from dogs or other animals. Rodents are very rarely infected with rabies. The disease can be diagnosed only after the start of symptoms.
