It is transmitted through saliva when bitten by a sick animal. Then, spreading through the nervous pathways, the virus reaches the salivary glands, the nerve cells of the cerebral cortex, the hippocampus, the bulbar centers and, by affecting them, causes serious disorders that cause the death of the infected person in almost 100%. % of the cases.
The name of the disease comes from the word “demon”, because in ancient times it was believed that the cause of the disease was the possession of evil spirits.
