Question
How to treat per rabbit bites on humans? Is there a danger of rabies or any disease?

Answer
Basically, if a rabbit bites, you would treat it like any other animal bite, which is wash it thoroughly with soap and water.

Technically, rabbit can pass some infections to people, but it is very rare.  You're more likely to get sick from a cat bite or food that you eat.
