Model Simulation for the Spread of Rabies in Sarawak, Malaysia

Abstract: There is a growing concern over the ongoing rabies epidemic in Sarawak that has remain unresolved ever since the outbreak began in July 2017. As of today, there has been 18 positive human rabies cases reported, which includes 17 fatalities, and one survivor who is now on life support after a severe neurological complications. Subsequently, the death rate now stands at approximately 94%. This paper is a preliminary report on the simulation of rabies transmission dynamics in Sarawak. At present, research is stil… Show more

“…In recent years, researchers have been trying to identify external factors impacting the spatial dynamics of RABV spread (n = 5) [63,64,68,69,71] (Fig 2D and S1 Table). Contrary to phylodynamic studies, the modelling category gathers a diverse panel of models with aims that cover the implementation of new mathematical methodologies (n = 2) [42,46], the characterization of rabies dynamics (n = 11) [26,27,31,32,40,41,44,[47][48][49]51], the identification of factors driving the resurgence or maintenance of rabies (n = 9) [16,23,25,[33][34][35]37,38,43], the assessment of control strategies efficacy (n = 18) [16,23,24,[27][28][29]31,[33][34][35][36][42][43][44][45][49][50][51], the risk assessment of rabies introduction and the evaluation of outbreak preparedness in rabies-free areas (n = 3)…”

“…In studies from the modelling and interdisciplinary categories, authors generally simulated rabies epidemics (n = 24) [20,23,25,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]38,40,[42][43][44][45][46][47][49][50][51]72], and thus predominantly relied on publicly available estimates of the natural history of rabies, dog demographics and dog ecology (S3 and S4 Tables). When models were fitted to incidence data (n = 13) [16,24,26,27,37,39,41,48,[73][74][75][76][77], human and/or dog case data from passive surveillance systems were used, or bite incidence data from thorough active surveillance.…”
