[quote]Rabies is an infection caused by the rabies virus. This virus attacks the brain, causing severe inflammation (encephalitis) and death. All species of mammals can become infected with the rabies virus, only a few species are best able to spread the rabies virus to other animals, like dog, bat, monkey, foxes, racoon and skunk.
