Background: Rabies is an important worldwide viral zoonotic disease with a high fatality rate and substantial socioeconomic losses. There is limited information about the community's knowledge, attitude and practice towards rabies disease in the study area. Therefore, this study was intended to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) and associated factors towards rabies among the community in Welkait district, Northwest Ethiopia.

Switzerland has been considered free of terrestrial rabies for more than 20 years. Nevertheless, the topics of rabies and rabies vaccination are more relevant than ever. On the one hand, this is because the demand for vaccines is increasing due to the increasing mobility of humans and animals, and on the other hand, there are frequent vaccine supply shortages.

Article Synopsis
- Adolescent exposure to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) alters how morphine affects behavior in adulthood, impacting anxiety and drug-related responses.
- * In particular, THC exposure reduced anxiety during morphine withdrawal but increased the craving for morphine, indicating complex interactions between these substances.
- * Finally, the study identified changes in brain connectivity, particularly between the frontal cortex and dopamine regions, suggesting a neurological basis for how early THC exposure influences future responses to morphine.
