What cultural group is most affected by rabies?

Rabies disproportionately affects rural communities and populations in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in Africa and Asia. These areas often lack access to adequate healthcare, vaccination for pets, and public awareness about rabies prevention. Additionally, cultural practices that involve close interaction with animals, such as dog ownership and hunting, can increase exposure to rabies. Consequently, marginalized groups within these regions are at a higher risk of rabies transmission.
