Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The principal mode of transmission of rabies virus is through the saliva of an infected animal, typically through a bite that breaks the skin. Rabies can also spread when infected saliva or nervous tissue comes into contact with an open wound or mucous membrane (such as the eyes, nose, or mouth) of a non-infected animal or human. Other modes of transmission, such as blood, fomites, pus, or insect bites, are not considered the primary means of spread for rabies.
