Question:

Why the people affected by rabbies show the symptom of hydrophobia and dog like behaviour?

actually one of my relative died of rabbies so


Answers:

These signs represent the neurologic stage of the disease.

"hydrophobia" is the result of severe muscle spasms in the throat and breathing muscles which a rabies sufferer gets upon trying to drink water. For this reason, they become terrified of it.

By "dog like behaviour" I assume you mean agitation/nervousness/salivati... These are late-stage signs of the rabies virus's impact on the brain.

Hope this helps.
