Vaccination and immigration rates influence raccoon rabies elimination and recolonization in simulated urban-suburban landscapes
2025-06-03
Abstract excerpt
The raccoon variant of the rabies virus (RRV) is managed in the eastern United States and Canada via distribution of oral rabies vaccine (ORV) baits. The goal of ORV distribution is to reach seroprevalence rates (an index of population immunity) of at least 60%, the threshold thought to eliminate RRV. Seroprevalence rates in urban areas rarely reach target levels, predictably leading to rabies outbreaks. However,...
