This paper introduces a method to estimate rabies outbreak sizes using phylogenies and validates it with simulated data and a real outbreak in the Philippines.

This study examines codon usage differences between host-specific rabies virus clades and identifies non-GC3 nucleotide content as a key driver of these differences.

This study shows that reducing spatial heterogeneity in dog vaccination coverage improves rabies control in Serengeti, Tanzania, by decreasing focal incidence and preventing outbreaks.

This paper investigates how variable incubation periods affect molecular clock models in rabies virus evolution and finds that per-generation models are equivalent to molecular clocks at realistic substitution rates.

The paper reassesses global historical R0 estimates of canine rabies using improved statistical methods and finds higher R0 values with wider confidence intervals than previously reported.
