Clinico-pathologicaI and pathomorphological changes of induced rabies in buffalo calves

Abstract

Buffalo calves experimentally inoculated through different routes with varied doses of street rabies virus showed high ESR, leucocytosis due to high lymphocyte counts and hypohaemoglobinaemia. A significantly high leucocyte count was observed in CSF. Rabies virus was detected in all natural secretions. Pathomorphologicall lesions suggesting non-suppurative encephalitis with evidence of neunoral degeneration, gliosis and intracytoplasmic inclusions were observed.
