Reservoir dynamics of rabies in south-east Tanzania and the roles of cross-species transmission and domestic dog vaccination

Lushasi, Kennedy; Hayes, Sarah; Ferguson, Elaine; Changalucha, Joel; Cleaveland, Sarah; Govella, Nicodem; Haydon, Daniel; Sambo, Maganga; Mchau, Geofrey; Mpolya, Emmanuel; Mtema, Zacharia; Nonga, Hezron; Steenson, Rachel; Nouvellet, Pierre; Donnelly, Christl; Hampson, Katie (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2021-08-21)

Understanding the role of different species in the transmission of multi-host pathogens, such as rabies virus, is vital for effective control strategies. Across most of sub-Saharan Africa domestic dogs Canis familiaris are ...

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) ...

Integrating contact tracing and wholegenome sequencing to track the elimination of dog-mediated rabies: An observational and genomic study

Lushasi, Kennedy; Brunker, Kirstyn; Rajeev, Malavika; Ferguson, Elaine; Jaswant, Gurdeep; Baker, Laurie; Biek, Roman; Changalucha, Joel; Cleaveland, Sarah; Czupryna, Anna; Fooks, Anthony; Govella, Nicodemus; Haydon, Daniel; Johnson, Paul; Kazwala, Rudovick; Lembo, Tiziana; Masoud, Msanif; Maziku, Matthew; Mbunda, Eberhard; Mchau, Geofrey; Mohamed, Ally; Mpolya, Emmanuel; Ngeleja, Chanasa; Ng'habi, Kija; Nonga, Hezron; Omar, Kassim; Rysava, Kristyna; Sambo, Maganga; Sikana, Lwitiko; Steenson, Rachel; Hampson, Katie (eLife Sciences Publications Ltd, 2023-05-25)

Participation in mass dog vaccination campaigns in Tanzania: Benefits of community engagement

Duamor, Christian; Lankester, Felix; Mpolya, Emmanuel; Ferguson, Elaine; Johnson, Paul; Wyke, Sally; Cleaveland, Sarah; Hampson, Katie; Kreppel, Katharina (Frontiers, 2022-10-13)

Background: Canine rabies causes about 59,000 human deaths each year globally but the disease can be eliminated by sustaining sufficient dog vaccination coverage over several consecutive years. A challenge to achieving ...

Integrating a community-based continuous mass dog vaccination delivery strategy into the veterinary system of Tanzania: A process evaluation using normalization process theory

Duamor, Christian; Hampson, Katie; Lankester, Felix; Lugelo, Ahmed; Changalucha, Joel; Lushasi, Kennedy; Czupryna, Anna; Mpolya, Emmanuel; Kreppel, Katharina; Cleaveland, Sarah; Wyke, Sally (Elsevier, 2023-06-03)

Abstract: Sustained vaccination coverage of domestic dog populations can interrupt rabies transmission. How- ever, challenges remain including low dog owner participation, high operational costs associated with ...
