Rabies is a very serious, almost always fatal, viral disease that affects the nervous system. It affects all mammals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, and humans. It spreads through the saliva of infected animals, and there is no cure.
Rabies is one of the world’s deadliest zoonotic diseases. Zoonotic means that it transfers from animals to humans. The UK has been determined to be rabies-free since the early 20th century under international guidelines.
