The Rabies syndrome can be acquired on all continents except antartica where the most common causative agent is Rabies lyssavirus, Australia has only one known lyssavirus so Rabies is always caused by the Australian Bat lyssavirus.

The Vaccine and Immunogloblin prophylaxis for rabies works for all the lyssaviruses.
