Rabies is caused by: _____________?
Correct answer: D. Rhabdovirus
- A. Paramyxovirus
- B. Rhinovirus
- C. Arbovirus
- D. Rhabdovirus
Explanation
Rabies is caused by rabies virus, a member of the genus Lyssavirus in the family Rhabdoviridae, whose virions are characteristically bullet-shaped. Students may choose an arbovirus because rabies can be transmitted by an animal bite, but arbovirus describes arthropod transmission and does not describe rabies. Thus, Rhabdovirus is the expected classification.
