A baby dying of rabies infected his dad and brother after biting them, it has emerged.
The youngster contracted the deadly disease during an outbreak which struck 154 other people in the war-ravaged Democratic Republic of Congo.
He then spread the virus to his 7-year-old sibling and 27-year-old father after sinking his teeth into their flesh.
Both the father and brother recovered after being treated by Doctors Without Borders. But the baby boy died, along with at least 10 others who were also hit by the outbreak.
Experts said it is extremely rare for the disease to be spread via humans and that people normally contract it after being bitten by affected dogs.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
