LFD implementation uncovers hidden rabies burden: Pre- and post-implementation analysis and comparison with non-implementation sites in the Philippines
LFD-based decentralization markedly improved case detection and enabled critical outbreak responses at the local level, demonstrating its value for rabies control in endemic settings though sustained One Health approach remains a challenge following the detection of rabid animals using LFD.
