Temperature affects rabies primarily by influencing the virus's stability and transmission dynamics. Warmer temperatures can enhance the viral load in the saliva of infected animals, increasing the likelihood of transmission through bites. Additionally, temperature impacts the behavior and activity levels of both reservoirs (like bats and raccoons) and potential hosts, affecting the spread and incidence of the disease. Extreme cold can inhibit the virus's survival outside a host, thereby reducing the risk of infection in the environment.

They have an average body temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, compared to most mammals' body temperature of 37-38 degrees Celsius.
