Data from: Raccoon contact networks predict seasonal susceptibility to rabies outbreaks and limitations of vaccination
1. Infectious disease transmission often depends on the contact structure of host populations. Although it is often challenging to capture the contact structure in wild animals, new technology has enabled biologists to obtain detailed temporal information on wildlife social contacts. In this study, we investigated the effects of raccoon contact patterns on rabies spread using network modelling. 2. Raccoons (Procyon lotor) play an important role in the maintenance of rabies in the United States. It is crucial to understand how contact patterns influence the spread of rabies in raccoon populations in order to design effective control measures and to prevent transmission to human populations and other animals. 3. We constructed a dynamic system of contact networks based on empirical data from proximity logging collars on a wild suburban raccoon population and then simulated rabies spread across these networks. Our contact networks incorporated the number and duration of raccoon interactions. We included differences in contacts according to sex and season, and both short-term acquaintances and long-term associations. Raccoons may display different behaviours when infectious, including aggression (furious behaviour) and impaired mobility (dumb behaviour); the network model was used to assess the impact of potential behavioural changes in rabid raccoons. We also tested the effectiveness of different vaccination coverage levels. 4. Our results demonstrate that when rabies enters a suburban raccoon population, the likelihood of a disease outbreak affecting the majority of the population is high. Both the magnitude of rabies outbreaks and the speed of rabies spread depend strongly on the time of year that rabies is introduced into the population. When there is a combination of dumb and furious behaviours in the rabid raccoon population, there are similar outbreak sizes and speed of spread to when there are no behavioural changes due to rabies infection. 5. By incorporating detailed data describing the variation in raccoon contact rates into a network modelling approach, we were able to show that suburban raccoon populations are highly susceptible to rabies outbreaks, that the risk of large outbreaks varies seasonally and that current vaccination target levels may be inadequate to prevent the spread of rabies within these populations. Our findings provide new insights into rabies dynamics in raccoon populations and have important implications for disease control.

Fig. 2. Phylogenetic analysis of piroplasms based on the cox1 assay. The blue clade is Babesia lotori in raccoons in the United States by geographic variation (light blue and dark blue), the purple clade represents a separate Babesia sensu stricto species in the United States by geographic variation (light purple and dark purple), the red clade represents our western Babesia sp. in raccoons by geographic variation (light red and dark red), and the green clade is the Babesia microti- like sp. in raccoons. Bolded samples are new sequences from this study. Geographic data and Genbank accession numbers for each sample is provided in Supplemental Table 1.

Raccoon Figurine, by Afinia ES360 3D Scanner
This raccoon figurine was 3D scanned on the Afinia ES360 Desktop 3D Scanner. The wildlife figurine was scanned twice, once upright and once on its side, while capturing the color texture. The detail was able to be captured very well with this relatively easy scan.
