Understanding risk evaluation practices in buying, cooking, and consuming pork in relation to Taenia solium taeniosis
Pork cook risk evaluation is two-dimensional and influences the management of pork. • One risk evaluation dimension is theoretical; the other is experienced. • Risk evaluation is acted and embedded into everyday situations of handling pork. • Knowledge does not necessarily entail behavioural change. • Inclusion of a deep understanding of context in intervention studies is essential
An exploratory study on the perceptions of rabies and ill-health causations and health seeking behaviours of school children and local communities in southern Bhutan
There is a need for the consideration of the socio-cultural context in the planning and implementation of health-related policies, including the rabies prevention programs in Bhutan, by involving traditional healers and religious entities with "One Health" public health sectors
Algorithm for the support of non-related (serious) adverse events in an Ebola vaccine trial in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Implementing an Ebola vaccine trial in a remote area in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and being confronted with a dysfunctional health care system and acute unmet health needs of participants, ethical considerations were made regarding the ancillary care obligations of the sponsor and researchers. Spurred by the occurrence of non-related (serious) adverse events (NR-SAEs), the Universities of Antwerp and Kinshasa jointly developed a…
Perceptions and Practices of Dog Ownership and Rabies Control at a Human-Wildlife-Domestic Animal Interface in South Africa
Rabies is efficiently controlled through mass vaccination of dogs. In an area of South Africa where free vaccination campaigns were implemented following rabies re-emergence, the required 70% vaccination coverage was challenging to reach. Understanding the factors affecting the efficiency of mass vaccination is helpful in guiding long-term rabies control efforts. This study aimed to assess the communities' knowledge and perceptions of dogs, rabie…
Community perception and knowledge of cystic echinococcosis in the High Atlas Mountains, Morocco
The uncontrolled stray dog population and dogs having access to offal (both at village dumps and slaughterhouses) suggest that authorities should be more closely involved in CE control. This study also highlights the need for improved knowledge about the transmission cycle of the parasite among communities and health professionals. Inter-sectoral collaboration between health staff, veterinarians, and social scientists appears to be crucial for su…

Eagle owl (Bubo bubo) pellets from Roman Sagalassos (SW Turkey)
Two concentrations of animal bones, almost exclusively from small mammals and wild birds, were found within the destruction debris of a Roman bath complex in Sagalassos (SW Turkey). The overall species spectrum, skeletal element representation, fragmentation and preservation condition of the bones indicate that they represent the prey remains of a large nocturnal avian predator, more precisely the eagle owl (Bubo bubo). Differences in skeletal el…
