Rabies virus is found in the saliva, brain, and spinal fluid of infected animals. Most commonly rabies is spread when an infected animal bites another and the infected saliva gets into the open wound.
Abnormal animal behavior is one key thing to look for, such as nocturnal animals, like skunks, seen during the day. Do not try to help animals who appear sick or injured.
