What Is Rabies?
Rabies is a fatal zoonotic disease that causes inflammation of the brain. Zoonotic means a disease that is transmitted from animals to humans. The cause of the disease is a viral infection, which most often occurs through the bite of a human by an infected animal, a mammal of various species (dog, cat, bat), or less often through the animal’s saliva, which gets on the mucous membranes or damaged skin.
