EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting 19th-century engraving captures the tragic reality of a dog infected with rabies confined to a cage. The image serves as a stark reminder of the devastating effects of this viral disease, known for causing acute inflammation of the brain and transmissibility from animals to humans through bites. Rabies, derived from the Latin word for "madness," is also commonly referred to as hydrophobia due to the fear and difficulty swallowing associated with advanced stages of the illness. The dog in this illustration appears distressed and trapped, symbolizing the helplessness often felt by those affected by this deadly virus. The black-and-white engraving evokes a sense of somberness and urgency, emphasizing the importance of healthcare and medicine in combating infectious diseases like rabies. Despite being created centuries ago, this image remains relevant today as a powerful visual representation of the ongoing battle against zoonotic illnesses. As we reflect on this historical depiction, may it serve as a poignant reminder of the need for continued vigilance in preventing and treating rabies in both animals and humans. Let us honor those who have suffered from this disease by working together towards its eradication for future generations.
