Is it possible to get rabies from a duck?

Extremely unlikely: Rabies here is carried by raccoons, skunks, foxes, coyotes, and bats, which all can transmit rabies to cats, dogs, and livestock. A mammal can become infected with rabies. The virus is in saliva. In order to get rabies from a duck, the duck would have to be bitten by a rabid mammal. Then, the human would have to touch the wound and transfer some residual saliva into his own eyes, nose, or mouth.

NO: Raies is a disease of mammals. Ducks are birds.

Rabies in mammals: Rabies is not found in birds. The disease only occurs in mammals. Therefore, one can only get rabies from the bite (or scratch) of a mammal. About 1 in 1000 human rabies cases is from an animal scratch. If concerned about a real 'rabies exposure', wash out the wound thoroughly and see a doctor.

No: Only mammals can be infected with rabies and potentially transmit the disease. Species that pose no risk of a rabies direct transmission include avians ( e.g., chickens, ducks, geese, hawks, eagles, owls, and even vultures), reptiles (lizards, turtles, etc.), and amphibians (e.g., frogs). http://epi.publichealth.nc.gov/cd/lhds/manuals/rabies/docs/other_animals.pdf

Rabies transmission: Birds do not transmit rabies.
