Rabies virus is transmitted through direct contact. (Such as broken skin or mucous membrane in eyes, nose, mouth) with saliva, or brain/nervous system tissue from an infected animal.

Inhalation of aerosolized rabies virus is one potential non-bite route of exposure, but except for laboratory workers, most people won't encounter an aerosol of rabies virus. Rabies transmission through corneal and solid organ transplants have been recorded, but they are also very rare.

Contact with infected bats is the leading cause of human rabies deaths in this country; at least 7 out of 10 Americans who die from rabies in the US were infected by bats.]]> 2023-04-18 15:52:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mqvt5dmqgv/zbi6jjvvax8tuft9/wish/2558831787 Causative organism of human rabies mqvt5dmqgv https://padlet.com/mqvt5dmqgv/zbi6jjvvax8tuft9/wish/2558848810 Lyssavirus, the causative agent for the disease of rabies

The time between exposure and symptoms varies based on 
A. The location of exposure site (How far away from the brain)
B. The type of rabies virus
C. Any existing immunity
Once the disease has progress to the brain 2 to 10 days is considered to the acute period.
