A 6-year-old girl in Wisconsin, USA, experienced a terrifying incident when she was attacked by a bat while climbing a tree outside her home. The animal was later confirmed to be a carrier of the rabies virus.

A new study has found a high prevalence of the rabies virus in street dogs in Karachi, particularly in Korangi and Malir. The findings highlight a substantial virus burden and emphasize the need for immediate wound care, timely post-exposure treatment, and scaled-up vaccination efforts.

Health officials in a California neighborhood are urging residents to avoid wildlife after a bat found near a sidewalk tested positive for the rabies virus.
