According to epidemiological surveys in our country, the majority of rabies cases are caused by bites from rabid dogs. Bites and scratches from cats, bats, and other animals are relatively less common, but they still occur occasionally. Dogs or cats exhibiting symptoms of the disease have a large amount of rabies virus in their saliva, which is highly contagious. Rabies is a fatal disease, and once infected, it is 100% fatal with no available treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to strengthen prevention measures, which can include rabies vaccinations and rabies immunoglobulin.
