Risk Factors

Animal Bite

Several recently publicized cases have stemmed from bats, which are known to be a vector for rabies. See the Rabies and bats section below.

In October 2004 a female brown bear killed one human and injured several others near the city of Braşov in Central Romania. The bear was killed by human hunters and diagnosed with rabies. More than one hundred humans were vaccinated afterwards.
