This paper demonstrates that lateral flow devices can be used for rabies virus genomic surveillance, enabling rapid and decentralized genome collection without additional sample collection.

This paper compares community-based and team-based dog vaccination strategies, finding community-based delivery achieves higher and more consistent coverage, exceeding the critical threshold for herd immunity.

This paper introduces a method to estimate rabies outbreak sizes using phylogenies and validates it with simulated data and a real outbreak in the Philippines.

This study examines codon usage differences between host-specific rabies virus clades and identifies non-GC3 nucleotide content as a key driver of these differences.

This study shows that reducing spatial heterogeneity in dog vaccination coverage improves rabies control in Serengeti, Tanzania, by decreasing focal incidence and preventing outbreaks.

This study sequenced rabies virus genomes from a dog-mediated outbreak in El Pedregal, Peru, revealing multiple introductions and linking them to ongoing rabies circulation in Arequipa and Bolivia.

The paper reassesses global historical R0 estimates of canine rabies using improved statistical methods and finds higher R0 values with wider confidence intervals than previously reported.

This paper introduces a lineage classification system for rabies virus based on SARS-CoV-2 nomenclature, enabling high-resolution tracking of viral spread and improving disease control.
