    <p>Summary of the rodents trapped and <i>Bartonella</i> isolates obtained within different trapping zones (A to E) at the Kibera study site.</p

    <p>Phylogenetic tree of <i>Bartonella</i> isolates obtained from Kibera rodents (shown in bold) and previously described reference strains for globally dispersed <i>Bartonella</i> species based on sequence analysis of the citrate synthase (<i>gltA</i>) gene. The phylogenetic tree was constructing using the neighbor-joining method. Dotted lines indicate negative branch lengths.</p

    Key epidemiological and operational variables determining the success of rabies vaccination programmes in terms of the predicted probability of eradication (grey y–axis and line) and time to eradication (black y–axis, medians and 95% PI), showing sensitivity to: (A) the basic reproductive number, <i>R</i><sub>0</sub>, (B) vaccination coverage (achieved at the time and location of the campaign (see Fig. 4)), (C) annual dog population turnover, with conversion into birth/death rate assuming constant population size (birth rates equal to death rates), and (D) duration of immunity provided by vaccine.
