TL;DR: In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) as discussed by the authors, the authors used the GBD 2010 methods with some refinements to improve accuracy applied to an updated database of vital registration, survey, and census data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the potential sources of information on the number of human deaths attributable to canine rabies, and how they might improve the estimates required to move towards the goal of global canine Rabies elimination.

TL;DR: Some of the commonest perceived barriers for countries to implementing rabies control and elimination programs are highlighted and possible solutions for sociopolitical, organizational, technical, and resource-linked requirements are discussed, following the pillars of the global framework for the elimination of dog-mediated human rabies adopted at the global rabies meeting in December 2015.

TL;DR: It is substantiate that a comprehensive herd specific prevention programme is a prerequisite to reduce transmission of and disease caused by M. hyopneumoniae in pigs at the age of weaning and several risk factors could be identified enhancing the probability of breeding herds to raise suckling pigs already infected with M.hyop pneumoniae.

TL;DR: The implementation of a rabies-specific bulletin will facilitate targeted control efforts and provide measurements of success, while also acting as a basis for advocacy to raise the priority of this neglected disease.
