Dog Bites and Bat Lesions | LeechFest Ep 37

This month we're coming at you with another good ol' Standard Format Episode, this time discussing rabies! In the medical part of the episode, we discuss the virus' sneaky mode of action and the resulting clinical presentation, after which we transition to the history part, in which Mia tells us about the various interpretations people have had about the virus throughout history and the ways they've dealth with infected people (hint: not kindly). Lastly, we discuss current rabies management and glimpse into potential future treatment options. Enjoy! Art: Louis Pasteur, with two white rabbits in his arms. Colour lithograph by T.
