Free-ranging domestic dogs Canis familiaris from a rural Chadian village, collared with GPS and proximity loggers. Free-ranging domestic dogs are susceptible to a number of zoonotic infections. High resolution contact networks derived from the proximity loggers demonstrated heterogeneity in contact rates. Simulations on the contact networks for an infection comparable to rabies found epidemic outcomes were determined by the seeded individual's network position, which was also correlated with ranging behaviour.
