Astroviruses are primarily associated with gastroenteritis, particularly in children.

Hydrophobia, or fear of water, is a classic symptom of rabies due to spasms in the throat.

The incubation period for rabies can range from 1 to 3 months, depending on the site of entry and viral load.

The primary clinical manifestation of Astrovirus infection is gastroenteritis, characterized by diarrhea and vomiting.

Rabies virus is primarily transmitted through direct contact with the saliva of an infected animal, typically via bites.

Astroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome.

Caliciviridae viruses are non-enveloped, which is a key characteristic of this family.

Vaccination of pets is a key preventive measure against rabies transmission.

Vaccinated animals are not a common source of Norovirus outbreaks; the virus is primarily spread through contaminated food and water.

Norovirus is a member of the Caliciviridae family and is a leading cause of viral gastroenteritis.
