Detailed description
Rabies is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by the rabies virus, primarily characterized by damage to the central nervous system. Humans, livestock, and wild animals can all be infected with the rabies virus. Due to hydrophobia being the most characteristic symptom of rabies, it is commonly known as "hydrophobia." Once rabies develops, there is no effective treatment, and it is almost 100% fatal. Most patients die within 3 to 5 days, with very few surviving beyond 2 weeks.
