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
