    Usually rabbits do not carry the rabies virus.

    The probability of being infected with rabies virus is also very low, and there have been no cases of rabies in rabbits. However, if you are scratched or bitten by a rabbit, you need to wash it immediately** with salt or soapy water, then disinfect it with iodine, and then use antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infection. If the wound is more severe, it is recommended to get a tetanus injection to avoid infection of the wound.

    The main reservoir of the rabies virus is cats and dogs, and if you are bitten by a cat or dog carrying the rabies virus, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately for vaccination.

    Rabbits are not infected with the rabies virus, and according to the rabies prevention guidelines of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, scratches and bites from rabbits do not belong to rabies exposure and do not need rabies prevention.

    In addition, other rodents such as mice, hamsters, and squirrels do not carry the rabies virus, and scratches and bites from these animals do not need to be exposed to rabies, but they are worried about infection with other bacteria and viruses. To do a good job in the treatment of wounds, it is necessary to clean and disinfect, and iodophor is commonly used for disinfection.

    Animals carrying rabies virus are the source of infection, and the main infection of rabies in China is sick dogs, followed by cats, pigs, cattle, horses and other domestic animals, and wild animals such as bats and foxes are also the main sources of infection.

    The chance of rabbits contracting rabies is extremely low, and they generally do not carry rabies, but the possibility of carrying them cannot be completely ruled out.

    After being scratched and bitten by a rabbit, it is recommended to clean and disinfect the wound immediately to avoid wound infection, and if you are really unsure, you can ask the doctor if it is necessary to vaccinate against rabies.

    All mammals are susceptible to the rabies virus, and carnivores such as dogs and cats, as well as pterodactyls, are the reservoir hosts of rabies in nature. Domestic animals such as pigs, horses, sheep, and camels are non-rabies storage hosts, and although they can be infected, they have a low risk of transmitting rabies. Rabies is rarely contracted in rodents and rabbits, and there is currently no evidence of rabies cases in humans.

    Does a rabbit bite require an injectionIt is necessary to distinguish whether it is a hare or a domestic pet. In the case of hares, rabies vaccinations are required because all mammals can carry the rabies virus, and hares have contact with many other wild animals and have the potential to carry the rabies virus.

    However, domestic pet rabbits, or rabbits raised on farms, do not have a relevant way to contact the rabies virus and will not carry the rabies virus, so they do not need to be vaccinated. In addition, there have been no cases of rabies caused by domestic pet rabbit bites, which also indicates that rabbits do not need to be vaccinated against rabies.

    If you eat a hare caught by a dog, you will not get rabies. Rabies virus.

    Generally, it is invaded through wounds, ** breakage, etc.

    Not all dogs carry the rabies virus and have been vaccinated against rabies.

    There are also healthy dogs that basically do not suffer from it.

    Even if the dog has the rabies virus, it is passed on to the hare, and the rabbit dies during the heating process.

    If the dog is a hunting dog, catching rabbits and other small animals can give the dog a rabies vaccine every year, and the dog will be healthier.

    Generally not, unless you eat raw, the virus will lose its activity in dry air for more than ten seconds, and high temperature and low temperature will inactivate the virus! Not to mention you're going to have to cook!

    Moreover, rabies is an infectious disease, and animals that carry the virus are only highly contagious during the onset period, because the virus is mainly transmitted from saliva!

    Dogs have more viruses than rabbits. Almost all animals may carry some viruses, but rabbits may carry slightly fewer germs than dogs and cats, rabbits will carry Staphylococcus aureus and pasteurella, but in fact, we humans will also carry some bacteria in order to maintain the ecosystem.

    Staphylococcus aureus is also a bacterium that humans themselves will carry.

    Rabbits are mammals.

    The general name of all the genera under the family Rabbitidae, commonly known as rabbits. Biological classification: Zootopae, chordates, phylum, vertebrates, subphylum, mammals, and rabbits have tubular long ears, ears several times longer than the width of the ears, clustered short tails, and strong hind legs much longer than the forelimbs, a total of 9 genera and 43 species.

    Reasons why animals carry the virus

    The virus itself is between living and non-living organisms, it cannot carry out the self-circulation supply of material energy, from the first point we can deduce its reproduction and survival mode, that is, it must complete parasitism, otherwise, it will lose its activity, and it will not matter about infection. Only when it parasitizes other animals or plants and draws energy can it ensure its own survival.

    Thirdly, it is precisely for the sake of reproduction that some viruses will become incredibly intelligent and targeted through mutation and self-evolution, and in order to survive, the virus will evolve. For example, the development of drug resistance.

    Or to circumvent the immune system.

    Targeted infection of certain animals and plants to avoid being killed.

    So, wildlife.

    Carrying a certain type of virus, such as the new coronavirus.

    It may be the evolution or mutation of one of its original types of viruses, or it may be the mutation of other types of animal viruses.

    I was bitten on my finger by a rabbit rat used in an experiment, should I get a rabies vaccine?

    Students, first of all, I would like to warn you that experimental animals should be strictly managed to avoid accidental injury; All bites should be treated first, promptly and thoroughly. Experimental animals are generally strictly managed and do not come into contact with the external environment, and some are still at the SPF (no special pathogen) level, they are not infected at all, do not have the conditions to transmit or be infected with rabies, and do not need to be vaccinated against rabies. Of course, if it is an animal infected by a specific pathogen, it must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.

    Not only medically, but also for violations of laboratory safety discipline.)

    Bitten by rabbits, squirrels, chinchillas, house mice, hedgehogs, chickens, fish, parrots, lizards, cockroaches, non-venomous snakes, mosquitoes, should I get a rabies vaccine? (The doctor is also about to collapse, do you live in a primeval forest?) )

    Rabbits bite when they are anxious, and if they are bitten by house mice, chinchillas, rabbits, and chickens, should they be vaccinated against rabies?

    According to the WHO report, "Examinations of thousands of wild and residential rodents in rabies-endemic areas of North America and Europe have shown that rabies infection in rodents is rare, suggesting that these animals are not reservoirs for the disease." "Exposure to rodents such as rabbits and hares rarely requires specific anti-rabies post-exposure prophylaxis.

    Rabbits are indeed highly susceptible to rabies virus infection, and the world's earliest rabies vaccine was made from artificially infected rabbit brain tissue. But in nature, rabbits have very few chances of being infected by the rabies virus. Years of foreign surveillance of thousands of wild animals (including rabbits) in rabies-endemic areas of North America and Europe have shown that rabbit infection with the rabies virus is rare.

    The rabies virus was accidentally detected in a very small number of rabbits in the Americas, and subsequent genetic identification proved that it was a raccoon, indicating that rabbits were not the storage host of the rabies virus. The probability of being bitten by a rabbit and causing rabies can be said to be lower than the probability of winning the lottery jackpot.

    The chances of humans being bitten by rats are high – accounting for 3-10 of all animal injuries. Regarding the disposal of rat bites, China's Ministry of Health has not yet issued relevant work specifications.

    There are occasional reports of rabies cases of rat-to-human and rabbit-to-human transmission in Chinese literature reports, but the identification of injured animals depends on the oral recollection of patients or their families, and the scientific value is limited, and the total number is very small. After summarizing the data, I believe that the above views of the WHO are also basically applicable to China.

    Although the next ** chapter was retrieved, the article in the primary health center in the 80s itself has a very low reference, although the patient was bitten by a rabbit, it took half a year to get sick, I don't know if he was bitten by other animals during the period, just take a look.

    Answer: All kinds of domestic animals, poultry and small mammals are susceptible to rabies, and all kinds of wild animals can be infected, in short, almost all warm-blooded animals, including poultry, can be infected with rabies. An animal is more susceptible to rabies transmitted by the same animal. The susceptibility of animals to the rabies virus is as follows:

    Most sensitive: foxes, mountain dogs, wolf-like-minded, jackals, wolves, kangaroos and cotton rats. Sensitive:

    Gophers, skunks, raccoons, mongooses, bats, mongooses, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other rodents. Moderately sensitive: dogs, cattle, horses, sheep and primates.

    Low sensitivity: opossums. Therefore, rabbits can also carry the rabies virus.

    Rabbits generally do not transmit the rabies virus.

    According to the Technical Guidelines for Rabies Prevention and Control (2016 Edition) issued by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the storage host animals of rabies in nature include carnivores and pterodactyls, foxes, wolves, jackals, weasel badgers, raccoon dogs, skunks, raccoons, mongooses and bats are also natural storage hosts of rabies, which can be infected with rabies virus and become the source of infection, and then infect domestic animals such as pigs, cattle, sheep and horses. Rabies-susceptible animals mainly include canines, felines and pterocodons, and poultry, fish, insects, lizards, turtles and snakes are not infected with and transmit rabies virus. Worldwide, 99% of human rabies is caused by dogs, especially in rabies-endemic areas such as Asia and Africa, where dogs are the main cause of human rabies. “
