Article Synopsis
- *This study examined brain samples from 70 rabid dogs, finding high presence of Negri bodies in the hippocampus (87.14%) and cerebrum (70%), with distinct characteristics in those regions compared to the thalamus and brainstem.
- *The research highlighted that detecting Negri bodies in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex can aid in rabies diagnosis, while immunohistochemistry showed high sensitivity for identifying rabies virus antigens in all brain regions studied.
The rabies virus is one of the most neurotropic of all viruses infecting mammals. During the terminal phases of infection, the virus spreads to peripheral tissues, including the skin. The external skin of the nose, called the nasal planum, is a sensory organ where numerous nerve bundles and terminal nerves are distributed.
