“…Low vaccination coverage in juveniles was likely due to insufficient targeting of pups. It is a common perception that puppies cannot be vaccinated because they are too young, but even extremely young dogs in rabies endemic regions have been shown to respond very well to vaccination (32). Although some juveniles may not have been born at the time of the campaign, many could have been vaccinated leading to improved coverage (>15% of the dog population were <1 year).…”

Determinants of Vaccination Coverage and Consequences for Rabies Control in Bali, Indonesia

Maintaining high vaccination coverage is key to successful rabies control, but mass dog vaccination can be challenging and population turnover erodes coverage. Declines in rabies incidence following successive island-wide vaccination campaigns in Bali suggest that prospects for controlling and ultimately eliminating rabies are good. Rabies, however, has continued to circulate at low levels. In the push to eliminate rabies from Bali, high coverage needs to be maintained across all areas of the island. We carried out door-to-door (DTD) questionnaire surveys (n = 10,352 dog-owning households) and photographic mark–recapture surveys (536 line transects, 2,597 observations of free-roaming dogs) in 2011–2012 to estimate dog population sizes and assess rabies vaccination coverage and dog demographic characteristics in Bali, Indonesia. The median number of dogs per subvillage unit (banjar) was 43 (range 0–307) for owned dogs estimated from the DTD survey and 17 (range 0–83) for unconfined dogs (including both owned and unowned) from transects. Vaccination coverage of owned dogs was significantly higher in adults (91.4%) compared to juveniles (<1 year, 43.9%), likely due to insufficient targeting of pups and from puppies born subsequent to vaccination campaigns. Juveniles had a 10–70 times greater risk of not being vaccinated in urban, suburban, and rural areas [combined odds ratios (ORs): 9.9–71.1, 95% CI: 8.6–96.0]. Free-roaming owned dogs were also 2–3 times more likely to be not vaccinated compared to those confined (combined Ors: 1.9–3.6, 95% CI: 1.4–5.4), with more dogs being confined in urban (71.2%) than in suburban (16.1%) and rural areas (8.0%). Vaccination coverage estimates from transects were also much lower (30.9%) than household surveys (83.6%), possibly due to loss of collars used to identify the vaccination status of free-roaming dogs, but these unconfined dogs may also include dogs that were unowned or more difficult to vaccinate. Overall, coverage levels were high in the owned dog population, but for future campaigns in Bali to have the highest chance of eliminating rabies, concerted effort should be made to vaccinate free-roaming dogs particularly in suburban and rural areas, with advertising to ensure that owners vaccinate pups. Long-lasting, cheap, and quick methods are needed to mark vaccinated animals and reassure communities of the reach of vaccination campaigns.

“…Vaksinasi secara signifikan dapat menurunkan mortalitas pada hewan peliharaan dan mengurangi keparahan gejala klinis akibat infeksi parvovirus, distemper, dan infectious canine hepatitis virus (Abdelmagid et al, 2004). Vaksinasi juga efektif dalam pencegahan kejadian penyakit rabies (Morters et al, 2015). Pengetahuan responden tentang pencegahan penyakit pada anjing dengan pelaksaan vaksinasi dicantumkan pada Gambar 2B, dimana sebagian besar responden (61.5%) sudah menerapkan vaksinasi, sedangkan sisanya sudah mengetahui namun belum menerapkan.…”

ABSTRAK: Anjing merupakan salah satu hewan kesayangan yang dapat menularkan penyakit zoonosis kepada manusia. Pengetahuan pemilik anjing peliharaan akan pencegahan penularan penyakit zoonosis diperlukan agar dapat menurunkan tingkat kejadian penularan penyakit zoonosis dari anjing ke manusia. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat pengetahuan dan kesadaran pemilik anjing tentang penyakit zoonosis dan pencegahan penularan penyakit zoonosis dari anjing manusia di Kota Malang. Sebagian besar pemilik anjing di Kota Malang telah mengetahui jenis penyakit zoonosis yang ditularkan oleh anjing ke manusia, dan sebagian besar telah menerapkan cara pencegahan penularan penyakit tersebut. Sebagian besar pemilik hewan telah menerapkan vaksinasi sebagai tindakan pencegahan kejadian penyakit pada anjing.

Background: Rabies is a dreaded disease and an estimated 55,000 people die of rabies every year. Himachal Pradesh is in the North bordering China and is predominantly rural and hilly. Villages are near forests, where wild reservoirs of rabies exist. Since health facilities are not accessible easily, we need to innovate on existing schedules of rabies vaccination keeping in view the compliance of the patients and affordability so as to give them the best possible option of treatment. In the year 2006 and 2007, we, at DDU Hospital Shimla, experienced a severe shortage of rabies vaccine and patients were running from pillar to post to fetch rabies vaccine. At the same time, we
