Spatial heterogeneity enhances rabies control by focusing vaccine bait distribution
January 17th, 2006
Spatial heterogeneity enhances rabies control by focusing vaccine bait distribution along rivers in lightly forested areas. According to recent research published in the journal Preventive Veterinary Medicine, "Spatial heterogeneity and long-distance translocation (LDT) play important roles in the spatiotemporal dynamics and management of emerging infectious diseases and invasive species. "We assessed the influence of LDT events on the invasive spread of raccoon rabies through Connecticut. We identified several putative LDT events, and developed a network-model to evaluate whether they became new foci for epidemic spread." ...
