尽管有针对狂犬病的疫苗,但狂犬病仍然是一种负担,在世界许多地方,包括尼泊尔,造成大量人类以及家畜和野生动物死亡。在这项研究中,我们开发了一个数学模型来描述尼泊尔狂犬病的传播动力学。特别是,一个间接的种间传播,从豺狼到人类通过狗,这是相关的尼泊尔的情况下,是我们的模型的新功能之一。我们的模型利用了从尼泊尔收集的长达十年的年度狗咬数据,使我们能够合理地估计尼泊尔狂犬病传播相关的参数。使用我们的模型,我们计算了尼泊尔的基本繁殖数()以及狗()和豺()的种内基本繁殖数,并确定了与狗相关的参数是主要的贡献者。我们的研究结果表明,沿着狗,豺狼也可能发挥重要作用,虽然程度较低,在尼泊尔狂犬病的持续性。我们的模型还表明,控制策略可能有助于显着降低患病率,但豺狼疫苗接种可能不如狗相关的预防策略有效。为了更深入地了解狗和豺狼种群之间的种内和种间传播在狂犬病持续性中的作用,我们还将模型分析扩展到更宽的参数范围。有趣的是,对于一些可行的参数,即使狂犬病在理论上被控制在每个狗和豺狼种群中(,),如果隔离,狂犬病流行仍然可能发生(),由于种间传播。这些结果可能有助于设计有效的预防和控制策略,以减轻尼泊尔和世界其他地区的狂犬病负担。
Even though vaccines against rabies are available, rabies still remains a burden killing a significant number of humans as well as domestic and wild animals in many parts of the world, including Nepal. In this study, we develop a mathematical model to describe transmission dynamics of rabies in Nepal. In particular, an indirect interspecies transmission from jackals to humans through dogs, which is relevant to the context of Nepal, is one of the novel features of our model. Our model utilizes annual dog-bite data collected from Nepal for a decade long period, allowing us to reasonably estimate parameters related to rabies transmission in Nepal. Using our model, we calculated the basic reproduction number () as well as intraspecies basic reproduction numbers of dogs () and jackals () for Nepal, and identified that the dog-related parameters are primary contributors to . Our results show that, along with dogs, jackals may also play an important role, albeit lesser extent, in the persistence of rabies in Nepal. Our model also suggests that control strategies may help reduce the prevalence significantly but the jackal vaccination may not be as effective as dog-related preventive strategies. To get deeper insight into the role of intraspecies and interspecies transmission between dog and jackal populations in the persistence of rabies, we also extended our model analysis into a wider parameter range. Interestingly, for some feasible parameters, even though rabies is theoretically controlled in each dog and jackal populations (, ) if isolated, the rabies epidemic may still occur () due to interspecies transmission. These results may be useful to design effective prevention and control strategies for mitigating rabies burden in Nepal and other parts of the world.
