Mindekem. | | Source | Emerg Infect Dis 2008 Oct; 14(10):1650-2. | | Abstract | We estimated the association between amount charged and probability that dog owners in N'Djaména, Chad, would have their dogs vaccinated against rabies. Owners would pay approximately 400-700 CFA francs (US $0.78-$1.36)/animal. To vaccinate >/=70% of dogs, and thus interrupt rabies transmission, health officials should substantially subsidize these vaccinations. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
