Dog-mediated rabies is responsible for tens of thousands human deaths annually, and in resource-constrained settings, vaccinating dogs to control the disease at source remains challenging. Currently, elimination efforts rely on mass dog vaccination by parenteral route. To increase herd immunity, free-roaming stray need be specifically addressed campaigns, with oral (ORV) being a possible solution. Using third-generation vaccine standardized egg-flavoured bait, bait uptake was assessed under...
This study analysed the demographics, spatial distribution, ownership and naming patterns of dogs cats presented to University Namibia's veterinary mobile clinic for sterilisation from small underserved towns around Namibia. The proportional distribution pets was determined based on species, sex, age, owner gender, town origin categories. Overall, 84.4% ( n = 2909) animals were remainder (15.6%, 539). Of sterilisation, 51.9% 1509) male 48.1% 1400) female. In cats, 51.4% 277) male, whilst...
