Nomaphi lapho uya khona e-Afrika uzothola izinja ezilahlekile, ezinamazinyane, ezibukeka kahle. Abathandi bezinja abahamba kulezi zingxenye bangalingeka kakhulu ukuba bakondle futhi basuse lezi zinduku ezidabukisayo, kodwa kufanele uzame ngempela ukugwema ukuthintana ngoba bangase baphathe i-rabies. Eqinisweni, noma yikuphi ukuxhumana nezilwane kungathwala ingozi yokudlwengula; izinkabi zezilwane , ama-mongoose, namakati afakiwe.
Kuyini amaRabi?
Ama-rabi yisifo esithathelwanayo segciwane lesilwane esidliwa yizilwane ezincelisayo esivame ukudluliswa ngokulunywa kwesilwane esibi.
Kubulalayo uma kushiywe kungalashwa. Izilwane eziningi zasendle nezinja ezihambayo zithwala izidakamizwa kulo lonke elase-Afrika.
Ukugwema amaRabi
Ungondli, uzilwane noma ufike eduze kwanoma yisiphi isilwane ngaphandle kokuthi umnikazi aseduze futhi akunike imvume. Ungasondeli kunoma yiziphi izinkabi zezilwane noma ezinye izilwane zasendle ezihluphekile ezithathwe njengezilwane ezifuywayo. Uma uhamba ezindaweni zasemaphandleni uthwala induku, usongo luvame ukwesabisa noma yikuphi izinja eziqhamukayo, zivame ukuba zihlaziye futhi zingenabungozi. Labo abathwala ama-rabies, noma kunjalo, bangaba nobudlova.
Okufanele Uyenze Uma Unqotshwa yizilwane e-Afrika
Uma uthola ulunywa noma uhlonywe yinoma yisiphi isilwane e-Afrika, kufanele uthole isibhamu se-rabies. Ngisho noma ulunywa yinja yesilwane, kufanele ufune usizo lwezokwelapha ngokushesha. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi inja yesilwane kungenzeka ifinyelele inja ehlukumezayo ethwele izidakamizwa esikhathini esedlule. Awukwazi ukuyibeka engozini nge-rabies ngoba ibulalayo uma ishiywe ingatholakali.
AmaRabies Roundups
Uma kukhona inja eyaziwayo eyaziwayo endaweni, iziphathimandla zendawo zivame ukuxwayisa abantu endaweni ukuba bahlale ngaphakathi ngesikhathi esibekiwe futhi bazoqhubeka nokudubula zonke izinja eziphambene emehlweni.
Ukuhamba inja yakho ngisho nasensimu yakho ngalesi sikhathi kugcwele ingozi njengoba ukunemba kokudubula kungashiya okuningi okufunayo.
Izimpawu zamaRabi
I-virus yamarabi igciwane lesisistimu esiyisisekelo senzwa, okubangela ukucindezeleka futhi ekugcineni ukufa. Izimpawu zokuqala zama-rabies kubantu azifani neze, ezihambisana nomkhuhlane, ikhanda, kanye ne-malaise jikelele.
Njengoba lesi sifo sithuthuka, izimpawu zezinzwa zivela futhi zingabandakanya ukungalali, ukukhathazeka, ukudideka, ukukhubazeka okuncane noma okuncane, ukukhathazeka, ukucabangela, ukukhungatheka, ukucindezeleka, ubunzima bokugwinya kanye ne-hydrophobia (ukwesaba kwamanzi). Ukufa ngokuvamile kwenzeka ezinsukwini zokuqala kwezimpawu.
Ukwelashwa kwamaRabi
Ayikho ukwelashwa kwama-rabies ngemuva kokuthi izimpawu zesifo zivele. Kodwa-ke, eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule ososayensi baye baqala uhlelo lokugoma olusha kakhulu oluhlinzekela ukulwa negciwane lesandulela ngculaza lapho lusekelwa ngemuva kokuvuleka (post-exposure prophylaxis) noma ukuvikelwa ngaphambi kokuba kuvezwe (pre-exposure prophylaxis). Kufanelekile ukuthola isibhamu ngaphambi kokuba uhambe uye e-Afrika.
