    • Development, feasibility and potential effectiveness of community-based continuous mass dog vaccination delivery strategies: lessons for optimization and replication 

      Duamor, Christian; Hampson, Katie; Lankester, Felix; Lugelo, Ahmed; Mpolya, Emmanuel; Kreppel, Katharina; Cleaveland, Sarah; Wyke, Sally (bioRxiv, 2022-03-13)
      Objectives Dog vaccination can eliminate rabies, but annual delivery strategies do not sustain vaccination coverage between campaigns. We describe the development of a community-based continuous mass dog vaccination (CBC-MDV) ...
    • Dog ownership practices and responsibilities for children's health in terms of rabies control and prevention in rural communities in Tanzania. 

      Sikana, Lwitiko; Lembo, Tiziana; Hampson, Katie; Lushasi, Kennedy; Mtenga, Sally; Sambo, Maganga; Wight, Daniel; Coutts, Jane; Kreppel, Katharina (PLOS ONE, 2021-03-01)
      Interventions tackling zoonoses require an understanding of healthcare patterns related to both human and animal hosts. The control of dog-mediated rabies is a good example. Despite the availability of effective control ...
    • Integrating a community-based continuous mass dog vaccination delivery strategy into the veterinary system of Tanzania: A process evaluation using normalization process theory
