      World Rabies Day is observed on 28 th September every year to spread awareness about rabies, a deadly disease common in Africa and Asia. By educating the public about the disease, the occurrences of rabies cases can be prevented and combated globally. Rabies is a zoonotic disease that is transferred to humans from infected animals with rabies virus (Lyssavirus) derived from the saliva of both domestic and wild animals. The virus mainly affects the central nervous system and is fatal in most cases. In developing countries like India, the virus is spread mainly through infected stray dogs via bites. 99% of human rabies cases are caused by infected dog bites. It can lead the person to develop several symptoms, including hydrophobia (extreme fear of water). In rare cases, an open wound or mouth and eyes being exposed to the saliva of an infected animal can lead to rabies.
