Rabies, also known as hydrophobia, is an acute zoonotic disease that invades the central nervous system caused by rabies virus. Rabies virus is normally transmitted to people by saliva bites from sick animals. So far, once it comes on, the mortality rate is 100%. Rabies incubation period varies, mostly within three months of onset, individual patients incubation period can reach more than ten years, incubation period and age, wound site, wound depth, the number of invasive viruses and virulence factors. Therefore, after being bitten by dogs, if there is rabies virus infection, incubation period is mostly within three months.
