Rabies virus can potentially survive in various environments, including under a fingernail, but it survival time outside a host is limited.
The rabies virus is relatively fragile outside a host and does not survive well in dry conditions
It is sensitive to UV light, heat, and drying out which all reduce its viability .
In most conditions, such as under a fingernail, the virus might survive for a short period
The exact survival time can vary,, but is generally limited to a few hours .
