“…These three surveys are listed first in the Table. The total number of unowned dogs was 35,667, and in the same three surveys, the total number of owned dogs was 140,114. Thus, the average ratio of unowned to owned dogs is approximately 1:4. Using this as the "expected" ratio, we have completed the column titled "unowned dogs" and placed in brackets the values calculated in the lower three surveys in the Table. The average ratio of owned and unowned dogs to humans for the six surveys is 1:6.1, based on 533,976 dogs per 3,264,368 humans. The average ratio of owned dogs to humans is 1:7.6, based on 426,670 dogs per 3,264,368 humans.…”

Rabies virus is transmitted most commonly through a bite from an infected dog. Especially, stray dogs that are not excluded from contact with rabid wild animals can become rabies vectors. Therefore, serological survey of rabies virus from stray dogs in Seoul Metropolitan City was carried out in this study. To investigate prevalence of rabies antibodies in the stray dogs, serum samples were taken from 500 stray dogs between April and December 2010. Antibodies to rabies virus were detected by indirect ELISA. Of 500 tested sera, 147 (29.4%) were positive to rabies virus. Prevalence rates of rabies antibodies(PRRA) in northern and southern Han river region of Seoul were 26.4% and 33.2% respectively. PRRA in male and female dogs were 33.6% and 26.1% respectively. PRRA in less than 1 year, 1∼2 ＜ years, 2∼3＜ years, 3∼5＜ years, 5∼10＜ years and over 10 years old dogs were 12.7%, 21.6%, 26.4%, 36.4%, 32.5% and 46.4%, respectively. These results indicates that antibody seroprevalence to rabies is still not enough to prevent rabies and rabies vaccination is required to enhance the seroprevalence in the dogs. To improve the situation, measures to raise public awareness of rabies and its prevention is needed. Also, reducing stray dogs and keeping companion animals from contact with wild animals are indispensable for the prevention of rabies.
