Figures

None
The human cost of rabies. Having not received post-exposure prophylaxis after a dog bite, a 16-year-old boy suffers the terrifying symptoms of rabies.
None
Impact of dog vaccination coverage on rabies outbreak probability and cost.
The left axis and the dashed blue line show the probability of an outbreak of 10 or more cases being seeded by an introduced case under different levels of vaccination coverage. The right axis and solid red line indicate the total costs (U.S.$) per km2 of rabies control with increasing vaccination coverage. Vaccination coverage of 70% of the canine population reduces outbreak probability close to zero and is cost-effective. Cost data from (9), probability data from (10).
None
A mass dog rabies vaccination clinic in Tanzania. This makeshift clinic was set up by the Serengeti Health Initiative.
