In animals, rabies is a viral zoonotic neuro-invasive disease which causes inflammation in the brain and is usually fatal. Rabies, caused by the rabies virus, primarily infects mammals. In the laboratory it has been found that birds can be infected, as well as cell cultures from birds, reptiles and insects. [1]
Pets, wildlife, bats, farm animals and humans can become infected through scratches and bites from carrier animals. After introducing a new, non-vaccinated body, the virus takes time to reproduce ...

[ 113 ] [ 114 ] High public awareness of the virus, efforts at vaccination of domestic animals and curtailment of feral populations, and availability of postexposure ...
3D still showing rabies virus structure. Rhabdoviruses have helical symmetry, so their infectious particles are approximately cylindrical in shape. They are characterized by an extremely broad host spectrum ranging from plants [citation needed] to insects [citation needed] and mammals; human-infecting viruses more commonly have icosahedral symmetry and take shapes approximating regular polyhedra.
