Have dinosaurs with Rabies attack other dinosaurs

From my experience so far in the game, any dinosaur with Rabies often means that the animal will start attempting to escape. While this is fine, having dinosaurs only attempt to escape when infected with rabies does not make the disease interesting, as the dinosaur would act the same way as though it is uncomfortable with the enclosure.

I think it would be much more interesting if the infected animal were to act violent at other animals in the enclosure. I will be more stressed out with my dinosaurs killing each other instead of breaking out, as you could lose some valuable assets this way.

If an animal like the torosaurus gets rabies, she might start attacking other torosaurs in the shared enclosure, and she may as well start attacking other combat ready dinosaurs in the enclosure like the chasmosaurs or sauropelta.

Furthermore, if the animal were to bite other animals like carnivores, mini, as well as the aquatic and marine reptiles, the disease should have a chance to infect another animal. This would escalate the issue of having rabies in the park untreated, as certain enclosure setups could lead to your dinosaurs entering a brawl-fest.

In Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, Rabies is a dangerous disease only carnivores can be infected with. The infected carnivore would be unusually thirsty before going berserk attacking anything in its sight range. In that game, rabies vaccine is already available to research. Once the rabies vaccine is researched alone, it will be in the form of dart medicine. Once the infected carnivore is darted with the rabies vaccine, it will not be infected by that illness again. However, vaccination by rangers are costly. To prevent dinosaur from being infected with rabies for the first time, research that vaccine and this upgrade Hatchery Immunization so that the dinosaurs are vaccinated before being released into the park.

Here is a nice update, it turns out rabies do pass onto other dinosaurs after a fight.

One of my concavenators lost its alpha status to another after it was tranquilized outside of its enclosure, when bringing her back in, the new alpha just got rabies. After the fight reclaim the alpha status, the two of them now have rabies.

It just looks as though it would not have been the case as I barely see dinosaurs with rabies fight other dinosaurs in their enclosure. It just seen in this instant because the fight was not because of violent behavior from sickness, but because of alpha disputes.
