Rabies virus is not usually transmitted indirectly. The transmission of rabies virus includes the source of infection, the means of transmission and susceptible people.
1. Source of infection: Dogs are the most common source of infection, while other animals such as cats, pigs, cows, horses, bats, wolves and foxes may be the source of infection if they are infected with rabies virus.
2. Transmission: Rabies virus is mainly transmitted through licking, scratching and biting, and can also be transmitted through aerosols.
3. Susceptible people: Most people are generally susceptible, so as long as you are licked, scratched or bitten by a dog or cat, you need to follow the relevant regulations strictly to get a full course of rabies vaccine to protect yourself.
In addition, rabies is a terrible virus that has a high mortality rate once it strikes, so good care is needed. If you are bitten, seek medical attention promptly to avoid delays.
