Rabies and Filoviridae Infections

This lecture covers the pathogenesis of rabies, including how the virus reproduces in muscle at the bite site, infects peripheral nerves, and causes symptoms such as hydrophobia and paralysis. It also discusses the transmission and entry of filoviruses, such as Ebola, into cells, highlighting the role of specific proteins and receptors. Additionally, it explores the classification, diseases, and transmission of Bunyaviridae, focusing on hantaviruses that cause hemorrhagic fever and pulmonary syndrome in humans.
