Rabies virus is a bullet-shaped, enveloped, single-strand RNA virus classified in the rhabdovirus family and Lyssavirus genus. It has particular neurotropic properties, and unlike many of the other viruses causing acute encephalitis, it appears to require central nervous system (CNS) infection as an essential part of its "life cycle."
