Yes, it is a virus that infects warm blooded animals any where. It is not location specific and in certain continents it has reached epidemic proportions at times.

Minor exception to above- there are some islands, such as Hawaii, where there is no rabies. Hawaii has very strict quarantine laws when bringing animals to Hawaii.
