Evaluating delivery models for mass dog vaccination: a cost-effectiveness analysis of community-led and team-led vaccination strategies for rabies control in resource-limited settings
IntroductionRabies is a fatal but preventable zoonotic disease that is still endemic in many low- and middle-income countries. Mass dog vaccination is central to rabies control, but identifying delivery strategies that are both effective and economically feasible continues to be a challenge in…

Concurrent Irrigation Pauses Can Create Streamflow Pulses for Fish During Critical Low‐Flow Periods
Abstract Streamflow augmentation can support endangered fish during low‐flow periods. Irrigated agriculture being the largest out‐of‐stream consumptive use, there is potential to augment streamflow by temporarily leasing from agriculture. This potential has not been fully realized, perhaps due to a…

Effectiveness of community-based delivery of mass dog vaccination to prevent rabies: A cluster randomized controlled trial
Background: Approximately 60,000 people die from rabies annually, mostly in Africa and Asia. Mass dog vaccination is critical for elimination. Herd immunity has been calculated to be attained when >40% (critical threshold) of dogs are vaccinated. A common delivery method implemented in Tanzania and…

Campylobacteriosis Outbreak Linked to Municipal Water, Nebraska, USA, 2021
In September 2021, eight campylobacteriosis cases were identified in a town in Nebraska, USA. We assessed potential exposures for a case–control analysis. We conducted whole-genome sequencing on Campylobacter isolates from patients’ stool specimens. We collected large-volume dead-end…
