Bioeconomic modelling of raccoon rabies spread management impacts in Quebec, Canada.
Beginning in 2006, point infection control operations and aerial distribution of oral rabies vaccines along the US border were performed in Quebec, Canada, to control the potential spread of raccoon rabies. A benefit-cost analysis assessed the economic efficiency of this rabies control programme into the future. In this study, a mathematical simulation model was used to determine the potential ...
متن کاملLandscape modelling spatial bottlenecks: implications for raccoon rabies disease spread.
A landscape genetic simulation modelling approach is used to understand factors affecting raccoon rabies disease spread in southern Ontario, Canada. Using the Ontario Rabies Model, we test the hypothesis that landscape configuration (shape of available habitat) affects dispersal, as indicated by genetic structuring. We simulated range expansions of raccoons from New York into vacant landscapes ...
متن کاملEffects of Natural Barriers and Habitat on the Western Spread of Raccoon Rabies in Alabama
Although domestic animal transmission of rabies has largely been mitigated, the disease remains a concern in both Europe and North America where wildlife transmission has caused epizootics. Raccoon (Procyon lotor) rabies was established in Alabama, USA, in 1975, primarily in the southeastern corner of the state. However, with the exception of isolated events, rabies has not continued to spread ...
متن کاملRaccoon rabies in space and time.
R is the only pathogen to play a role in a Disney movie. While defending the children who costar in the 1957 film against a rabid coyote, the canine hero of ‘‘Old Yeller’’ is bitten and acquires the infection. Eventually, Old Yeller becomes rabid and moves on to the great casting kennel in the sky, and a younger understudy then helps to placate the mortified children. If Disney were to remake t...
متن کاملHuman rabies postexposure prophylaxis during a raccoon rabies epizootic in New York, 1993 and 1994.
We describe the epidemiology of human rabies postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) in four upstate New York counties during the 1st and 2nd year of a raccoon rabies epizootic. We obtained data from records of 1,173 persons whose rabies PEP was reported to local health departments in 1993 and 1994. Mean annual PEP incidence rates were highest in rural counties, in summer, and in patients 10 to 14 and 3...
