Abstract: Rabies is a serious viral disease of mammals that causes acute inflammation of the brain in animals. It is a zoonotic, fatal, and progressive neurological infection. The virus responsible for this belongs to the family Rhabdoviridae, genus Lyssavirus. It affects warm-blooded animals and the disease is prevalent throughout the world and endemic in many countries except Antarctica and Australia. The virus enters the body through a rabid animal bite. Currently, there is no specific treatment for rabies if clinical signs appear. We can control rabies through regular vaccination of ourselves and our pets.
