Rabies is a "viral zoonotic neuroinvasive disease

{a living organism that invades your nervous system} that causes acute encephalitisbrain) in mammals {It can make your brain swell}

It is most commonly caused by a bite from an infected animal, but occasionally by other forms of contact. If left untreated in humans it is almost invariably fatal.
