A virus causes the deadly sickness known as rabies in warm-blooded animals. Common disease-carrying animals include foxes, skunks, bats, and raccoons. The virus can enter the body by a bite, scratch, or open wound and is spread by saliva in both people and animals. Within days of the onset of symptoms, the central nervous system infection caused by the rabies virus can result in brain enlargement and death.
