With an apparent decline in rabies vaccination coverage in dog populations in many parts of eastern and southern Africa, consideration should be given to more effective targeting of rabies vaccination to protect those sectors of the dog population with the greatest capacity to transmit rabies. This paper discusses the potential contributions that dog ecology studies may make to the improved delivery of rabies control measures and the targeting of vaccination programmes in the region. Data requirements on dog population size and structure are discussed, methods for collection of such data are summarized, and the studies on dog ecology carried out to date within the region are reviewed.
鉴于非洲东部和南部许多地区犬类群体的狂犬病疫苗接种覆盖率明显下降，应考虑更有效地针对狂犬病疫苗接种，以保护犬类群体中具有最大狂犬病传播能力的部分。本文讨论了犬类生态学研究对改善狂犬病控制措施的实施以及该地区疫苗接种计划的针对性可能做出的潜在贡献。讨论了关于犬类种群规模和结构的数据要求，总结了收集此类数据的方法，并回顾了该地区迄今为止开展的犬类生态学研究。
