Rabies is a viral disease of mammals that is most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The virus attacks the nervous system and affects the brain and spinal cord of humans and animals. In Maryland, rabies is most frequently found in raccoons, cats, foxes, skunks, bats, and groundhogs.
