How long can the rabies virus survive outside the body?

In life, people face many threats of diseases and viruses. Among them, rabies is a very harmful disease that can cause serious harm to people's bodies and may cause death within a few days after the patient becomes ill. Rabies is highly contagious, and as long as the wound comes into contact with the virus, there is a high chance of infection. Let’s take a look at how long the rabies virus can survive outside the body. I hope everyone can understand this.

Rabies is one of the most easily controlled infectious diseases because it cannot be transmitted through the air. It can only be transmitted after an infected animal bites a healthy animal. Therefore, it is relatively difficult to spread. In addition, its vaccine is very effective and can effectively prevent rabies.

Rabies is one of the most difficult infectious diseases to eradicate, mainly because it infects almost all warm-blooded animals, making its host range very wide, making it very difficult to eradicate completely.

Rabies is an infectious disease that can only be controlled and eliminated with a vaccine. Because rabies has a wide host range, an uncertain incubation period, a short time from onset to death, and a 100% mortality rate after onset, but its vaccine is very effective, relying on vaccination to control and eliminate rabies is the easiest and most successful method.

There are two ways to get rabies vaccine, one with four shots (given on 0 days, 7 days, and 21 days, two shots for the first time) and one with five shots (one shot each on 0 days, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days). That is to say, after 10 days you must have completed the three shots, so why not finish them all? It can at least produce antibodies for half a year.
