Identifying a rabies vaccination strategy for an area is a nontrivial task. Vaccination strategies differ in the amount of effort and monetary costs required to achieve a particular level of vaccine seroprevalence (efficiency). Simulating host movement relative to different vaccination strategies in silico can provide a useful tool for exploring the efficiency of different vaccination strategies. We refined a previously developed individual-based model of raccoon movement to evaluate vaccination strategies for urban Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. We combined different oral rabies vaccination baiting (hand baiting, helicopter, and bait stations) with TVR strategies and used GPS data to parameterize and simulate raccoon movement in Hamilton. We developed a total of 560 vaccination strategies, in consultation with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, for RRV control in Hamilton. We documented the monetary costs of each vaccination strategy and estimated the population seroprevalence. Intervention costs and seroprevalence estimates were used to calculate the efficiency of each strategy to meet targets set for the purpose of RRV control. Estimated seroprevalence across different strategies varied widely, ranging from less than 5% to more than 70%. Increasing bait densities (distributed using by hand or helicopter) led to negligible increase in seroprevalence. Helicopter baiting was the most efficient and TVR was the least efficient, but helicopter-based strategies led to lower levels of seroprevalence (6\u201312%) than did TVR-based strategies (17\u201370%). Our simulations indicated that a mixed strategy including at least some TVR may be the most efficient strategy for a local urban RRV control program when seroprevalence levels &gt;30% may be required. Our simulations provide information regarding the efficiency of different vaccination strategies for raccoon populations, to guide local RRV control in urban settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7589\/jwd-d-23-00059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,12]],"date-time":"2024-01-12T02:20:06Z","timestamp":1705026006000},"page":"26-38","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["ASSESSING THE EFFICIENCY OF LOCAL RABIES VACCINATION STRATEGIES FOR RACCOONS (PROCYON LOTOR) IN AN URBAN SETTING"],"prefix":"10.7589","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Guillaume","family":"Bastille-Rousseau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooperative Wildlife Research Laboratory, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois 62901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicole T.","family":"Gorman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooperative Wildlife Research Laboratory, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois 62901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katherine M.","family":"McClure","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Wildlife Research Center, Wildlife Services, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Larissa","family":"Nituch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wildlife Research and Monitoring Section, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Trent University, Peter-borough, Ontario K9L 0G2, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tore","family":"Buchanan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wildlife Research and Monitoring Section, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Trent University, Peter-borough, Ontario K9L 0G2, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard B.","family":"Chipman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"United States Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services, National Rabies Management Program, Concord, New Hampshire 03301, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy T.","family":"Gilbert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Wildlife Research Center, Wildlife Services, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kim M.","family":"Pepin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Wildlife Research Center, Wildlife Services, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4415","reference":[{"key":"20","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"EG Pieracci, CM Pearson, RM Wallace, et al.  \"MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep.\"  68, \"Vital signs: Trends in human rabies deaths and exposures\u2014United States, 1938\u20132018.\" 524 (2019)","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.mm6823e1"},{"key":"21","unstructured":"\"R: A language and environment for statistical computing.\"  (2022)"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"AT.
