Two cases of rabies have been attributed to probable aerosol exposures in laboratories, and two cases of rabies have been attributed to possible airborne exposures in caves containing millions of free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) in the Southwest. However, alternative infection routes cannot be discounted.

    The conditions is what makes this basically airborne anything.

    What makes the disease airborne is a confined space where there’s so much literal shit, piss, blood, and/or saliva all around that when things that flap their wings and stir up the air, in fact, stir up the air, that droplets of their bodily fluids with rabies in it are simply statistically inevitable. By that same process, airborne Ebola is possible as well. So is airborne HPV, or HIV, or Polio.
