Heterogeneity in the spread and control of infectious disease: consequences for the elimination of canine rabies [PDF]

, 2015
Understanding the factors influencing vaccination campaign effectiveness is vital in designing efficient disease elimination programmes. We investigated the importance of spatial heterogeneity in vaccination coverage and human-mediated dog movements for ...

Heterogeneity in dog population characteristics contributes to chronic under-vaccination against rabies in Guatemala.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
Guatemala has held dog rabies mass vaccination campaigns countrywide since 1984, yet the virus remains endemic. To eliminate dog-mediated human rabies, dog vaccination coverage must reach at least 70%.

Comparing methods of assessing dog rabies vaccination coverage in rural and urban communities in Tanzania [PDF]

, 2017
Rabies can be eliminated by achieving comprehensive coverage of 70% of domestic dogs during annual mass vaccination campaigns. Estimates of vaccination coverage are, therefore, required to evaluate and manage mass dog vaccination programs; however, there

Dog Population Rabies Immunity before a Mass Vaccination Campaign in Lima, Peru: Vulnerabilities for Virus Reestablishment

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2023
ABSTRACT. Lima, Peru, has not had a case of canine rabies since 1999. However, Lima remains at risk of rabies reintroduction due to the free movement of dogs from nearby rabies-endemic areas. In Latin America, rabies vaccination campaigns must reach 80% of dogs to halt transmission, but estimates of vaccine coverage are often unavailable, unreliable ...

Evaluation of the immune response of dogs after a mass vaccination campaign against rabies in Tunisia

BMC Veterinary Research, 2023
Abstract Background Rabies (RABV) is an enzootic disease in Tunisia, with dogs being the primary reservoir. Vaccinating dogs is the key to eradicate rabies. Regional Veterinary Services conduct nationwide immunisation campaigns on an annual basis. Evaluation of the immune response is still important to make sure that the
