After introduction through the damaged skin the virus on nervous trunks reaches a brain, causing in it an edema, hemorrhages, a degeneration of nervous cells. The virus gets also to sialadens and with a saliva is allocated in an environment.

Symptoms, current. The incubation interval lasts from 10 days about one year (more often 1-3 months). Allocate 3 stages of disease: I - initial (depressions), II - exaltations and III - paralyses.
