A field study was conducted on the island of Antigua, West Indies, to evaluate baits for delivering an oral rabies vaccine to the small Indian mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus). Tracking tiles were used to determine that mongooses were nonselective and took both egg-flavored polyurethane baits and fish-flavored polymer baits containing several different food materials. A high proportion of baits were taken the day of placement with minimal disturbance by nontarget species. DuPont Oil Blue A dye was an effective short-term biomarker for use in baits; based on its subsequent detection in mongooses, some of the population had consumed and not cached or discarded baits. Central point baiting stations showed promise as an alternative delivery technique.
在西印度群岛的安提瓜岛进行了一项实地研究，以评估用于向小印度獴（食蟹獴）投喂口服狂犬病疫苗的诱饵。使用追踪瓦片确定獴不挑食，既食用含多种不同食物材料的蛋味聚氨酯诱饵，也食用鱼味聚合物诱饵。投放当天，很大一部分诱饵被吃掉，且受非目标物种的干扰最小。杜邦油蓝A染料是一种用于诱饵的有效短期生物标志物；基于随后在獴体内的检测发现，部分獴群食用了诱饵，而非将其储存或丢弃。中心点诱饵站有望成为一种替代投放技术。
