Hello. Please rewrite these sentences into something that is easy to understand. Restate the medical terms into everyday words.

The Rabies virus, like the vast majority of other pathological microorganisms, attempts to perpetuate itself with general and reservoir host-specific mechanisms, which ultimately confer a considerable epidemiological plasticity. The pace and phenotype of rabies infection are mostly written in the virus genome, whilst transmission is strongly favoured by aggressive behaviours (i.e., a biting inclination) of rabid hosts (37). Despite incidence and mortality of rabies disease have both markedly declined during the past three decades (Fig. 1), and irrespective of whether the genetic code of Rabies virus can be naturally (i.e., by ecological opportunities and viral adaptation) or artificially (i.e., by genetic engineering) modified, we need to think “out-of-the-box”, in that the generation of a “Zombie virus” cannot be firmly excluded according to the currently available biological evidence (38). Wavefront velocity of rabies disease propagation has been calculated in wild animals (e.g., foxes, skunks, raccoons and vampire bats) at around 10-40 km per year (37). However, in densely populated towns, where natural landscape barriers would be minimal, the human-to-human contagion may increase by several orders of magnitude, thus easily assuming apocalyptic proportions and creating a new generation of pseudo-human creatures, who have completely unleashed their already existing part of zombie within (39). In keeping with this conjecture, an interesting simulation of an imaginary Zombie outbreak reveals that most of the US population would turn into Zombies within one week from appearance of the first case, whilst only some remotes zones in Montana and Nevada would remain infestation-free one month afterwards (40).

The rabies virus, like most deadly viruses, can change the way they act in response to environmental changes. The rabies virus is transmitted by an infected animal biting another animal because that is the way the virus evolved. The number of people bitten by rabid animals and the number of people dying from rabies has dramatically declined over the past 30 years. However, scientists are concerned that the rabies virus could, through natural mutation or genetically engineered mutation, change into a virus that would turn infected people into "zombies". Wild animals, such as foxes, skunks, raccoons and vampire bats usually transmit rabies in about a ten-mile area. Unfortunately, there are no natural barriers, such as forests or rivers, to keep infected animals from entering our crowded cities. It would be easy for a wild animal carrying the mutated rabies virus to bite a person and kick off a zombie apocalypse. Like any rabid animals, infected people would bite and infect those around them, thus creating a race of zombies. A simulation of such an event projected that it would only take about a week from the first bite before most of the US population became zombies. For people living in remote areas of Nevada or Montana, it would only take a month before the zombies found them and turned them into zombies.
