Developmental programming in dogs.. Developmental programming in dogs, although less studied than in other species, encompasses both nutritional and behavioural influences during gestation and early life. The most critical window corresponds to the first 120 days (pregnancy followed but the first two months of dog's life), considered the canine equivalent of the human "first 1000 days of life." Low birth weight, result from the intra-uterine growth, is one of the most documented examples of developmental programming in this species. Its consequences extend long beyond the neonatal period: while early effects include disproportionate head development and increased mortality during the first…

In mammalian species, pseudopregnancy is a physical state whereby all the signs and symptoms of pregnancy are exhibited, with the exception of the presence of a fetus, creating a false pregnancy. The corpus luteum (the remains of an ovulated ovarian follicle) is responsible for the development of maternal behavior and lactation, which are mediated by the continued production of progesterone by the corpus luteum through some or all of pregnancy. In most species, the corpus luteum is degraded in the absence of a pregnancy. However, in some species, the corpus luteum may persist in the absence of pregnancy and cause "pseudopregnancy", in which the female will exhibit clinical signs of pregnanc…

The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, more commonly known as The Iditarod (), is an annual long-distance sled dog race held in Alaska in early March. It travels from Anchorage to Nome. Mushers and a team of between 12 and 16 dogs, of which at least 5 must be on the towline at the finish line, cover the distance in 8–15 days or more. The Iditarod began in 1973 as an event to test the best sled dog mushers and teams but evolved into today's highly competitive race. Teams often race through blizzards causing whiteout conditions, sub-zero temperatures and gale-force winds which can cause the wind chill to reach −100 °F (−73 °C). A ceremonial start occurs in the city of Anchorage and is followed by…

Burden of human rabies disease: its potential prevention by means of Rabipur^® vaccine.. Rabies is a zoonotic viral disease transmitted mainly by bites of infected animals, especially dogs, which are responsible for 99% of human cases. Despite being preventable, it remains a neglected disease in low-income countries, with approximately 60,000 deaths per year, mostly concentrated in Africa and Asia. The real worldwide burden of rabies is probably underestimated, as death-reporting systems are inadequate and active surveillance is limited. Rabies prevention implies two main, non-exclusive strategies: (i) dog vaccination, in order to interrupt virus transmission to humans, and (ii) h…

Modelling sterilisation strategies to maximise population impact and cost-efficiency in free-roaming dog populations. Free-roaming dog populations pose challenges to public health and animal welfare, and their management and protection is legally mandated in many countries to control zoonotic diseases such as rabies, reduce bites, mitigate fear of aggressive dogs, and preserve animal welfare. Although international organisations recommend holistic dog population management with surgical sterilisation as a key component, stakeholders report a lack of evidence-based guidance on effective and cost-efficient strategies. To address this, we developed a deterministic model of a closed free-roamin…
