What animal gets rabies most?
Rabies is present in the animal populations of almost every country in the world, except in Australia and New Zealand. The total number is not really known, but the main carrier that is monitored is the dog, as this is where most humans catch it from. 97%. It wouldn't be correct to say that the household dog gets rabies the most, as other creatures, including the bat, monkeys, raccoons, foxes, skunks, cattle, wolves, coyotes, dogs, mongoose and cats also can contract rabies.

Can monkey bite causes rabies?
A monkey bite can infect a human with rabies just the same as any other animal infected with it can. Monkeys are NOT born with rabies. They need to be bit by another infected animal. If a monkey has never been exposed to rabies then no, its bite will not "cause" rabies. If however, the monkey has been around another rabid animal and it was bit, it can infect another animal or person if it bites them. Note, rabies is deadly in monkeys just as it is in humans, so a monkey with rabies would not live very long anyway.Rabies is a neurotropic virus that can cause fatal disease in humans, it is transmitted to them by infective animals who have themselves contracted Rabies. A common infection route is established by a bite, or by saliva from an infected animal entering through a skin wound or lesion.At the outset it should be made clear that there is NO established evidence that any monkey has ever transmitted a Rabies infection to a human.
