Finally finished!

As of mid-September, this project has finally been finished! It's been a tough few months, with several ups and downs; and of course very few things going according to schedule. Such as this long-owed lab-note! But what did we find? Some very promising things indeed; so keep an eye out for the publication currently in preparation! This work has been awarded the Zoological Society of London's price for best research project of the year. I could not have done this without the support of each and every one of you. THANK YOU for making this important work for the benefit of African wild dog conservation possible.

About This Project

Rabies is one of the greatest threats to the continued survival of the African wild dog (Lycaon pictus). Vaccination has the potential to prevent mass mortalities associated with the virus, but single-dose strategies may not result in sufficient immunity. This study therefore focuses on the effects of a rabies booster vaccination on serum antibody levels in African wild dogs. Results may serve to inform future vaccination programmes and help secure the future of this endangered species.
