The rabies virus can remain in certain body tissues after death. There have been documented cases of transmitting rabies through organ transplants, for example, cornea transplants taken from someone who had undiagnosed illness. There are also some very recent reports (March 2009) of individuals contracting the rabies virus by eating infected dogs and cats.
