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.

The paper uses genomic surveillance to analyze rabies transmission in Arequipa, revealing structured urban spread and significant surveillance gaps.

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 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.

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.
