Itâs transmitted through the saliva a few days before death when the animal âshedsâ the virus. Rabies is not transmitted through the blood, urine, or feces of an infected animal, nor is it spread airborne through the open environment. Because it affects the nervous system, most rabid animals behave abnormally.
1 The rabies virus is present in the saliva of an infected animal and is usually transmitted by a bite. 2  Rabies may also be transmitted if infectious material (such as saliva) of the infected animal enters a wound or mucous membrane such as the eyes, nose or mouth. It is possible to get rabies following exposure to an infected animal. 2  However, rabies can be prevented in humans with the administration of a post-exposure rabies treatment, or prophylaxis, as soon as possible following an exposure. 3  Once symptoms develop, rabies is usually fatal.
