Yes, rabies is a significant public health concern in many parts of the world, particularly in regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. It is primarily transmitted through the bites of infected animals, especially dogs. While rabies is rare in developed countries due to effective vaccination and control measures, it remains endemic in many developing regions, where access to vaccines and post-exposure prophylaxis is limited. Efforts are ongoing to reduce rabies incidence through vaccination campaigns for pets and public education.
