Socio-spatial heterogeneity in participation in mass dog rabies vaccination campaigns, Arequipa, Peru.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
To control and prevent rabies in Latin America, mass dog vaccination campaigns (MDVC) are implemented mainly through fixed-location vaccination points: owners have to bring their dogs to the vaccination points where they receive the vaccination free of ...

Incentives Increase Participation in Mass Dog Rabies Vaccination Clinics and Methods of Coverage Estimation Are Assessed to Be Accurate. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
In this study we show that incentives (dog collars and owner wristbands) are effective at increasing owner participation in mass dog rabies vaccination clinics and we conclude that household questionnaire surveys and the mark-re-sight (transect survey ...

Development, feasibility and potential effectiveness of community-based continuous mass dog vaccination delivery strategies: Lessons for optimization and replication [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
Objectives Dog vaccination can eliminate rabies in dogs, but annual delivery strategies do not sustain vaccination coverage between campaigns. We describe the development of a community-based continuous mass dog vaccination (CBC-MDV) approach designed to improve and maintain vaccination coverage in Tanzania and ...

Integrating a community-based continuous mass dog vaccination delivery strategy into the veterinary system of Tanzania: A process evaluation using normalization process theory [PDF]

One Health, 2023
Sustained vaccination coverage of domestic dog populations can interrupt rabies transmission. However, challenges remain including low dog owner participation, high operational costs associated with current (centralized and annually delivered (pulse)) approaches and high dog population turnover.

Review on dog rabies vaccination coverage in Africa: a question of dog accessibility or cost recovery?

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
BackgroundRabies still poses a significant human health problem throughout most of Africa, where the majority of the human cases results from dog bites. Mass dog vaccination is considered to be the most effective method to prevent rabies in humans.

An implementation science framework to understand low coverage in mass dog rabies vaccination.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
BackgroundDog-mediated human rabies has been greatly reduced in the Americas and eliminated from most high-income countries. However, many countries in Africa, Asia, and parts of Latin America are still struggling with this gruesome disease.

Factors that influenced the delivery of a community-based continuous mass dog rabies vaccination approach in the Mara region of Tanzania

Frontiers in Tropical Diseases
IntroductionMass dog vaccination is the most effective approach for interrupting canine rabies transmission. However, current vaccination strategies are typically centralized and conducted annually, leaving some communities excluded and with few ...
