A person has died in Yorkshire from rabies after encountering a stray dog during a trip to Morocco. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has reported that there is no wider public risk since rabies cannot be transmitted between people. They are assessing health workers and close contacts for vaccination. Rabies, a highly lethal virus, is primarily transmitted through the saliva of infected animals. Symptoms can initially resemble flu but progress to severe complications, emphasizing the critical need for timely medical intervention post-exposure.
Rabies is a deadly virus spread via the saliva of infected animals, with stray dogs as significant carriers in some countries like Morocco.
