Rabies is caused by a virus transmitted through the saliva or nervous system tissue of an infected animal. It causes flu-like symptoms that can develop into cerebral dysfunctions, anxiety, and delirium. Over 50,000 people in Asia and Africa die from rabies each year. While rabies can be either acute or chronic depending on treatment, prevention focuses on vaccinating pets, removing strays, and avoiding contact with wild animals.
