  • Addressing the disconnect between the estimated, reported, and true rabies data : the development of a regional African rabies bulletin 
    Scott, Terence Peter; Coetzer, Andre; Fahrion, Anna S.; Nel, Louis Hendrik (Frontiers Media, 2017-02-20)
    It is evident that rabies continues to be a neglected tropical disease; however, a recent global drive aims to eliminate canine-mediated human rabies by 2030. Global efforts have been vested into creating and developing ...
  • Complete genome and molecular epidemiological data infer the maintenance of rabies among Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) in Namibia 
    Scott, Terence Peter; Fischer, Melina; Khaiseb, Siegfried; Freuling, Conrad M.; Hoper, Dirk; Hoffmann, Bernd; Markotter, Wanda; Muller, Thomas; Nel, Louis Hendrik (Public Library of Science, 2013-03-20)
    Rabies in kudu is unique to Namibia and two major peaks in the epizootic have occurred since it was first noted in 1977. Due to the large numbers of kudu that were affected, it was suspected that horizontal transmission ...
  • Economic and feasibility comparison of the dRIT and DFA for decentralized rabies diagnosis in resource-limited settings : the use of Nigerian dog meat markets as a case study

    BACKGROUND : Rabies lyssavirus (RABV) is the aetiologic agent of rabies, a disease that is severely underreported in Nigeria as well as elsewhere in Africa and Asia. Despite the role that rabies diagnosis plays towards ...
  • Enhanced diagnosis of rabies and molecular evidence for the transboundary spread of the disease in Mozambique 
    Coetzer, Andre; Anahory, Iolanda; Dias, Paula T.; Sabeta, Claude Taurai; Scott, Terence Peter; Markotter, Wanda; Nel, Louis Hendrik (AOSIS OpenJournals, 2017-03-24)
    Rabies is a neglected zoonotic disease with veterinary and public health significance, particularly in Africa and Asia. The current knowledge of the epidemiology of rabies in Mozambique is limited because of inadequate ...
  • Formation of the Asian Rabies Control Network (ARACON) : a common approach towards a global good 
    Coetzer, Andre; Scott, Terence Peter; Amparo, Anna Charinna; Jayme, Sarah; Nel, Louis Hendrik (Elsevier, 2018-09)
    The drive towards the worldwide elimination of dog-mediated human rabies by 2030 is the first step towards the ultimate goal of dog rabies elimination – as dogs account for more than 99% of human rabies cases globally – ...
  • The formation of the Eastern Africa rabies network : a sub-regional approach to rabies elimination 
    Pieracci, Emily G.; Scott, Terence Peter; Coetzer, Andre; Athman, Mwatondo; Mutembei, Arithi; Kidane, Abraham Haile; Bekele, Meseret; Ayalew, Girma; Ntegeyibizaza, Samson; Assenga, Justine; Markalio, Godson; Munyua, Peninah; Nel, Louis Hendrik; Blanton, Jesse (MDPI Publishing, 2017-07-18)
    International rabies networks have been formed in many of the canine-rabies endemic regions around the world to create unified and directed regional approaches towards elimination. The aim of the first sub-regional Eastern ...
  • A novel integrated and Labile eHealth system for monitoring dog rabies vaccination campaigns 
    Coetzer, Andre; Scott, Terence Peter; Noor, Khadija; Gwenhure, Lambert F.; Nel, Louis Hendrik (MDPI, 2019-09-09)
    The elimination of canine rabies through the implementation of high coverage mass dog vaccination campaigns is a complex task, particularly in the resource-limited countries of the rabies endemic world. Here we demonstrated ...
  • The Pan-African Rabies Control Network (PARACON) : a unified approach to eliminating canine rabies in Africa 
    Scott, Terence Peter; Coetzer, Andre; De Balogh, K.; Wright, Nicolette; Nel, Louis Hendrik (Elsevier, 2015-12)
    Even though Africa has the highest per capita death rate from rabies of any continent, and the disease is almost entirely transmitted by the bites of rabid dogs, there has been no coordinated pan-African approach to ...
  • Rabies control in Liberia : joint efforts towards zero by 30 
    Voupawoe, Garmie; Varkpeh, Roland; Kamara, Varney; Sieh, Sonpon; Traore, Abdallah; De Battisti, Cristian; Angot, Angelique; Loureiro, Luis Filipe L. de J.; Soumare, Baba; Dauphin, Gwenaelle; Abebe, Wolde; Coetzer, Andre; Scott, Terence Peter; Nel, Louis Hendrik; Blanton, Jesse; Dacheux, Laurent; Bonas, Simon; Bourhy, Herve; Gourlaouen, Morgane; Leopardi, Stefania; De Benedictis, Paola; Lechenne, Monique; Zinsstag, Jakob; Mauti, Stephanie (Elsevier, 2021-04)

  • Rabies in kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) 
    Scott, Terence Peter; Hassel, Rainer; Nel, Louis Hendrik (Schlütersche Verlagsgesellschaft, 2012)
    Cycles of terrestrial rabies are associated with carnivores. In non-carnivorous species, rabies typically occurs as a spill-over from the carnivore reservoir and quickly encounters a dead end in such species. One major ...
