Estimating the Size of Dog Populations in Tanzania to Inform Rabies Control

2018-07-05

Abstract excerpt

Estimates of dog population sizes are a prerequisite for delivering effective canine rabies control. However, dog population sizes are generally unknown in most rabies-endemic areas. Several approaches have been used to estimate dog populations but without rigorous evaluation. We compare post-vaccination transects, household surveys and school-based surveys to determine which most precisely estimates dog populatio...
