Rabies is endemic in many countries. Its reservoir is in the wild animal populations, particularly carnivores.
If a person is bitten by a rabid animal, the virus, which is present in the saliva, will cause the person bitten to develop the disease which is mostly fatal.
However, there is a both a vaccine and treatment for rabies and it is possible to prevent infection and indeed cure the disease if treatment is given in time. Anyone bitten by an animal in a rabies area should seek medical help as early as possible. Thus, while a nasty disease, rabies is not really a severe problem.
In cases where the background infection rate in the animal population is high, it is also possible to vaccinate the wild animals by scattering bait for them to eat which contains the vaccine. This would be done in case of an outbreak.
