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.

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

Frontiers in Tropical Diseases
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 ...

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

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases
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 ...

Impact of community-delivered SMS alerts on dog-owner participation during a mass rabies vaccination campaign, Haiti 2017

Vaccine, 2018
Haiti has historically vaccinated between 100,000 and 300,000 dogs annually against rabies, however national authorities have not been able to reach and maintain the 70% coverage required to eliminate the canine rabies virus variant.

Filter Papers to Collect Blood Samples from Dogs: An Easier Way to Monitor the Mass Vaccination Campaigns against Rabies?

Viruses, 2022
Rabies is a deadly viral disease present mainly in low-income countries of Africa and Asia. Dogs are the main reservoir and the source of human deaths. Mass vaccination campaigns of dogs are pivotal to achieve rabies elimination.

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

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 ...

Evaluation of a One Health mass dog rabies vaccination campaign in a resource-limited urban setting: Evidence from Techiman, Ghana

bioRxiv
Background Dog-mediated rabies remains endemic in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa despite the availability of effective vaccines. Achieving and sustaining at least 70% vaccination coverage in dog populations is widely recognized as essential for ...

Development of a Non-Meat-Based, Mass Producible and Effective Bait for Oral Vaccination of Dogs against Rabies in Goa State, India [PDF]

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2019
Introduction: To achieve the global goal of canine-mediated human rabies elimination by 2030 there is an urgent need to scale-up mass dog vaccination activities in regions with large dog populations that are difficult to access; a common situation in ...

DO WE NEED ORAL BAIT VACCINATION TO ELIMINATE DOG MEDIATED HUMAN RABIES?

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
Oral rabies vaccines (ORVs) have been used successfully to control rabies in carnivore reservoir populations across the globe. Fox rabies was eliminated from Europe through strategic distribution of ORVs across Western Europe from 1978.

Benefit-cost analysis of coordinated strategies for control of rabies in Africa

Nature Communications, 2023
Previous research suggests that dog mass vaccination campaigns can eliminate rabies locally, resulting in large human and animal life gains. Despite these demonstrated benefits, dog vaccination programs remain scarce on the African continent.
