Question 2: The rabies virus belongs to which genus within the family Rhabdoviridae?
- Parapoxvirus
- Flavivirus
- Lyssavirus
- Herpesvirus
Question 3: What is the distinctive morphology or shape of the rabies virion?
- Spherical

- Bullet shaped
- Helical
Question 4: Which characteristic is described as being important from a diagnostic point of view of rabies virus?
- Agglutinating human red blood cells
- Haemagglutinating goose erythrocytes
- Sensitivity to ether
- High molecular weight RNA
Question 5: The transmission of rabies between animals and humans is most commonly achieved by which method?
- Ingestion of infected meat
- Bite contaminated with infectious saliva
- Contact with rodent urine
- Aerosol route only in labs
Question 6: Historically, in what year was the disease first recognized in dogs in Hong Kong?
Question 7: Shorter incubation periods in humans are typically associated with bites located in richly innervated areas, such as the face, neck, and hands, due to which factor?
- Increased temperature at the site
- Severity of infection
- Lower viral load
- Proximity to internal organs
Question 8: When an exposed (bitten) person is first treated, what is the essential immediate action for the wound?
- Administration of tetanus toxoid
- Thorough cleaning and washing with soap solution and water
- Administration of rabies immunoglobulin
- Starting the vaccination schedule
Question 9: How long should a dog suspected to have rabies be observed according to treatment guidelines?
- 3 days
- 7 days
- 10 days
- 14 days
Question 10: According to WHO guidelines, if a domestic dog or cat is healthy and available for 10 days of observation after attacking a person, what treatment is required for the exposed person initially?
- Rabies immunoglobulin
- Full vaccine course
- None unless the animal develops rabies
- 3 doses of vaccine
Question 11: A&R: A: The rabies virion has a distinct bullet shaped morphology. R: This shape results from the virion having an elongated structure consisting of a lipid containing bilayer envelope surrounding a helically wound nucleocapsid.
- Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation for A.
- Both A and R are true, but R is NOT the correct explanation for A.
- A is true, but R is false.
- A is false, but R is true.
Question 12: A&R: A: The incubation period for human rabies infection is usually shorter in children than in adults. R: The severity of infection is dependent on the site of the bite, with richly innervated areas leading to a shorter incubation period.
- Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation for A.
- Both A and R are true, but R is NOT the correct explanation for A.
- A is true, but R is false.
- A is false, but R is true.
Question 13: A&R: A: Control measures for rabies in India should primarily be directed toward canine rabies. R: Dogs play an important role in the maintenance and spread of rabies in India.
- Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation for A.
- Both A and R are true, but R is NOT the correct explanation for A.
- A is true, but R is false.
- A is false, but R is true.
Question 14: A&R: A: The Fluorescent Antibody (FA) test provides a highly specific diagnosis for rabies within a few hours. R: Monoclonal antibodies are also being used in FA tests to identify rabies related viruses.
- Both A and R are true, and R is NOT the correct explanation for A.
- Both A and R are true, but R is NOT the correct explanation for A.
- A is true, but R is false.
- A is false, but R is true.
Question 15: A&R: A: In the paralytic form of rabies, the affected animal becomes comatosed and dies due to respiratory failure. R: In the furious form, a hoarse throaty howl replaces the normal bark and snarl.
- Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation for A.
- Both A and R are true, but R is NOT the correct explanation for A.
- A is true, but R is false.
- A is false, but R is true.
