We emphasize! Rabies is an acute infectious disease common to humans and warm-blooded animals that affects the central nervous system and damages neurons in the brain and spinal cord. The causative agent of rabies is a virus that is transmitted not only through a bite, but also through saliva, that is, if a person is even just touched by a sick animal and a little saliva gets on the skin, the virus will penetrate the blood through the smallest abrasions and wounds.
