Proof of concept of mass dog vaccination for thecontrol and elimination of canine rabies. [PDF]

Rev Sci Tech, 2018
For more than 100 years, canine rabies vaccination has been available as a tool for rabies control and elimination. However, domestic dogs still remain a major reservoir for rabies, and although canine rabies has been eliminated through mass dog vaccination in some parts of the world, the disease continues to kill tens of thousands of people every year

Implementing mass dog rabies vaccination through a community-based continuous approach: A socio-anthropological process evaluation. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis
Introduction Mass dog vaccination to control rabies usually involves centralized planning and team-led annual campaigns. We evaluated the implementation processes of a decentralized, community-based continuous approach to mass dog vaccination (CBC-MDV), delivered as an arm of a randomized controlled trial (RCT ...

Modelling canine rabies elimination in India through mass dog vaccination [PDF]

, 2022
The ‘Zero by 30’ campaign aims to globally eliminate dog-mediated human rabies deaths by 2030. Theoretical and empirical studies have shown that annual mass rabies vaccination (MRV) campaigns that vaccinate at least 70% of the dog population in an area can effectively control canine rabies outbreaks and eventually eliminate it. Achieving such coverages

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.
