The impact of poverty on dog ownership and access to canine rabies vaccination: results from a knowledge attitudes and practices survey Uganda 2013

摘要

BackgroundRabies is a neglected disease despite being responsible for more human deaths than any other zoonosis. A lack of adequate human and dog surveillance, resulting in low prioritization, is often blamed for this paradox. Estimation methods are often employed to describe the rabies burden when surveillance data are not available, however these figures are rarely based on country-specific data.
