Ecology of Arctic rabies: 60 years of disease surveillance in the warming climate of northern Canada

Audrey Simon et al.

Summary: This study provides insights into the spatio-temporal dynamics of rabies occurrence in northern Canada, highlighting the contrasting rabies dynamics between different regions and the potential impact of Arctic fox population fluctuations and climate factors on rabies transmission. The results suggest the need for epidemiological models to better predict rabies dynamics in wild and domestic carnivores, improving estimates of human exposure and transmission risk.

Description and Determinants of At-Risk Interactions for Human Health Between Children and Dogs in an Inuit Village

Geraldine-G. Gouin et al.

Summary: While dogs have positive impacts on physical and mental health, they can pose public health risks such as bites and zoonotic diseases. A study in an Inuit village identified seven types of at-risk child-dog interactions, advocating for a multi-faceted educational intervention to improve the relationship between children and dogs, ultimately reducing the incidence of dog bites.
