To ensure long-term success, rabies control must also address wildlife reservoirs. Building knowledge of rabies in wildlife, strengthening laboratory capacity, and expanding surveillance systems are essential. Reports of rabies in jackals in Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP) and limited genetic data on circulating strains in Uganda highlight the need for improved monitoring. Sequencing data will help track rabies transmission among wildlife, domestic animals, and humans.
The goals of this pilot research project are:
1) Strengthen QENP laboratory capacity to sequence circulating rabies strains (with
MinION) in wild and domestic.
2) Develop a sustainable transport system for suspected rabies samples to the QENP
laboratory.
3) Conduct phylogenetic analysis with rabies strains from wild animals, domestic
animals and humans.
4) Elucidate the ethical aspects of rabies control at the human-wildlife-domestic
animal interface.
