Exposure time of oral rabies vaccine baits relative to baiting density and raccoon population density.
Oral rabies vaccination (ORV) baiting programs for control of raccoon (Procyon lotor) rabies in the USA have been conducted or are in progress in eight states east of the Mississippi River. However, data specific to the relationship between raccoon population density and the minimum density of baits necessary to significantly elevate rabies immunity are few. We used the 22-km2 US National Aeron...
متن کاملOral rabies vaccination of a northern Ohio raccoon population: relevance of population density and prebait serology.
Ohio's oral rabies vaccination (ORV) program was established to prevent the westward spread of the raccoon (Procyon lotor) rabies virus (Lyssavirus, Rhabdoviridae) in Ohio, USA. The program, which targets raccoons, distributes vaccine-bait units (VBU) at a target density of 75 units/km2. Few studies have examined the relationship of VBU density and target population density to the prevalence of...
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 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 کاملRaccoon (Procyon lotor) movements and dispersal associated with ridges and valleys of Pennsylvania: implications for rabies management.
The raccoon (Procyon lotor) continues to be a prominent terrestrial rabies reservoir in the eastern United States. Describing the dispersal and movements of these animals and determining geographic features that are natural hindrances or corridors to movements could be used to assist oral rabies vaccination efforts. The landscape of the ridge-and-valley system in Pennsylvania exhibits character...
