    Rabies is a fatal disease that causes inflammation of brain. It is caused by the deadly Rabies Virus. A rabies virus is a single stranded RNA virus with an enveloped structure. It has a wide range of hosts and can infect mammals, birds, reptiles and even cells of a culture medium. It has a cylindrical symmetry and belongs to the family of Rhabdoviruses.

    Rabies spreads from the saliva of an infected animal.

    It includes different symptoms like-

    • fever
    • sore throat
