Rabies is an infectious disease that destroy the nerve cells of part of the brain and this can cause death.

A person bitten by an animal passes through an incubation period of about 30 to 50 days, but may range also from 10 days to a year or more.

When rabies enters the body, it travels along the nerves to the spinal cord up to the brain, producing inflammation.

The nearer the bite is to the brain, the faster it can reach the nervous system.

If the virus has not yet reached the nervous system it can still be stopped.

It is transmitted by the bite of an animal such as wild carnivores, bats, rats, domestic dogs, cats, etc.

People and mammals can get rabies when they breathe the air in the caves that houses a large number of bats, which may carry this virus.

Outbreak of rabies can be prevented by vaccination of animals that can carry can rabies. Vaccination can immunize the animal for up to 3 years.
