Any living mammal is capable of being infected by rabies, including humans. A very small percentage of the human population has been vaccinated to protect against rabies infection, so they are at much lower risk. This population includes animal control officers, veterinarians and others who have a high exposure risk profession.

∙ 14y agoRabies is a virus, so almost any mammal can technically have and/or carry rabies (with the exception of certain species such as opossums, which have too low a body temperature to harbour the virus).
As a general rule, smaller rodents tend not to carry the virus. According to the weblink below, "In North America rabies occurs primarily in skunks, raccoons, foxes and bats. In some areas these wild animals infect domestic cats, dogs, and livestock."

∙ 9y agoAlmost all the carnivorous animals like dogs, foxes, wolves, cats, raccoons, skunks, bats etc can cause rabies from their bite. Herbivorous animals and man do not bite to spread the rabies. Very small animals like mice, squirrels, rats do not spread rabies, practically.
