The paper documents feral dogs in caves near Arequipa, Peru, showing they threaten rabies elimination by avoiding vaccination and surveillance.

The paper investigates how dynamic dog populations affect rabies control in Arequipa, finding that rapid turnover and growth reduce vaccination effectiveness and herd immunity.

This study shows that H5N1 spreads rapidly within dairy farms, limiting the effectiveness of current control measures and highlighting the need for more sensitive surveillance and biosecurity practices.

The paper models within-herd transmission of H5N1 in dairy cattle, estimates R0 near 1.2, and develops a web tool for outbreak simulation and control strategy analysis.
