After some minor delays, we finally got started on our first laboratory tests this week! We coupled some beads to rabies protein, mixed them with some antibodies, and examined how all components interact with each other. The past few days have been very interesting and these first runs have helped us optimise our assay for later use. I will keep you updated about first results in due time!

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.
