Rabies is present in the animal populations of almost every country in the world, except in Australia and New Zealand.
The total number is not really known, but the main carrier that is monitored is the dog, as this is where most humans catch it from. 97%.
It wouldn't be correct to say that the household dog gets rabies the most, as other creatures, including the bat, monkeys, raccoons, foxes, skunks, cattle, wolves, coyotes, dogs, mongoose and cats also can contract rabies.
