| Abstract | ||||
| Rabies (Rhabdoviridae family) is a preventable viral disease commonly transferred by bite of a rabid animal. Dogs are the principal source of human rabies mortality, contributing up to 99% of all rabies transmissions to humans. Rabies virus infects the CNS of mammals, eventually causing infection in the brain and death. Rabies can affect all mammals, including humans, cats, dogs and farm wildlife like bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes. In many other countries dogs still carry rabies, and most rabies deaths in people around the world are caused by dog bites. There is no effective treatment for rabies. Prevention is the mainstay of treatment including programs involving domestic animal vaccination, education, and monitoring | ||||
