Brits holidaying in countries where rabies is prevalent have been warned to avoid contract with cats, dogs and other animals after a tourist contracted the disease and died following a cat bite.
The man has been named by The Sun as 58-year-old Omar Zouhri from Aylesbury - a British-Moroccan national who was visiting relatives in Mehdya, around 30 miles north of the Moroccan capital Rabat.
His death earlier this month prompted on Monday (November 12) a warning from Public Health England (PHE) to holidaymakers about the dangers of approaching animals that can carry rabies, and of the importance of getting vaccinated before travelling.
