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

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) method for estimating post-vaccination coverage are accurate when all dogs, including puppies, are ...

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
Abstract Background Dog-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.

Mass Dog Vaccination and Animal Birth Control: A One Health Pilot Project in Karachi, Pakistan

, 2023
The Sindh province in Southern Pakistan reports staggering numbers of dog bites. Not only to treat but to prevent, dog-bite casualties, in January 2018, the Indus Hospital launched a proof of concept of One Health. The pilot project ‘Rabies Free Pakistan’ (RFP) consisted of the performance of mass dog vaccination (MDV) and animal birth control (ABC) in

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
Introduction Mass 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 opportunities to vaccinate their dogs.

Evaluating delivery models for mass dog vaccination: a cost-effectiveness analysis of community-led and team-led vaccination strategies for rabies control in resource-limited settings [PDF]

Frontiers in Tropical Diseases
Introduction Rabies is a fatal but preventable zoonotic disease that is still endemic in many low- and middle-income countries. Mass dog vaccination is central to rabies control, but identifying delivery strategies that are both effective and economically feasible continues to be a challenge in low-resource ...

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

Process evaluation of Community-Based continuous mass dog vaccination delivery Strategies in the Mara region of Tanzania [PDF]

, 2023
Rabies can be eliminated if coverage of domestic dog vaccination is sustained above 40% all year-round for five-seven consecutive years. Current approaches usually fail to achieve this required vaccination coverage and an alternative, a community-based continuous mass dog vaccination (CBC-MDV) approach, was designed and piloted in the Mara region of ...

Potential for rabies control through dog vaccination in wildlife-abundant communities of Tanzania [PDF]

, 2012
Canine vaccination has been successful in controlling rabies in diverse settings worldwide. However, concerns remain that coverage levels which have previously been sufficient might be insufficient in systems where transmission occurs both between and ...

Domestic dog demographic structure and dynamics relevant to rabies control planning in urban areas in Africa: the case of Iringa, Tanzania [PDF]

, 2012
<p>Background Mass vaccinations of domestic dogs have been shown to effectively control canine rabies and hence human exposure to rabies. Knowledge of dog population demography is essential for planning effective rabies vaccination programmes ...
