Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Despite being entirely vaccine-preventable, rabies causes tens of thousands of deaths annually. Efforts are aiming to end human rabies deaths by 2030, yet we are witnessing resurgent outbreaks and spread to previously rabies-free regions. In this context I present insights on the dynamics of rabies from long-term contact tracing and enhanced surveillance in settings within East Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America. Using detailed spatiotemporal data from Tanzania I share research examining the predictability of outbreaks, ecological and sociological drivers of circulation, and potential reservoir complexities. I conclude with an outlook of new tools and approaches to support rabies elimination and build more effective One Health ways of working.
