What kind of likelihood is there of getting rabies from rats in india?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rare: Based on experience in the usa and around the globe, rats are not the mammals to fear for rabies in india, by far, dogs are the main risk. Would check with local health experts about the prevalence of rabies in that community.
