Table 1.
Stratification of working zones and population counts in representative surveys.
Housing category 1 (Small houses—high density), Housing category 2 (Small houses—medium density), Housing category 3 (Small houses—low density), Housing category 4 (Medium houses–ordered), Housing category 5 (Large houses—medium/low density). S1 Dataset gives the breakdown of city zones and dogs sighted by zone in surveyed regions.
Table 2.
Table of records from static point and door-to-door vaccination for all data captured during the campaign, including dogs vaccinated by static point and door-to-door activities, already vaccinated dogs encountered at door-to-door and dogs sighted but not vaccinated
.
Fig 4.
Graphs of estimated vaccination coverage for adult dogs by individual post vaccination survey and grouped according to land type (Housing categories 1–5).
The 95% confidence intervals for each survey are shown. Light grey lines indicated surveys which recorded less than 20 dogs within that particular land type.
Fig 5.
Graphs of estimated vaccination coverage for puppies by individual post vaccination survey and grouped according to land type (Housing categories 1–5).
The 95% confidence intervals for each survey are shown. Light grey lines indicate surveys which recorded less than 20 dogs within that particular land type.
Fig 6.
Graphs of estimated vaccination coverage per survey for all dogs (adults and puppies) by individual post vaccination survey and grouped according to Housing categories 1–5 with 95% confidence intervals.
Light grey lines indicated surveys which recorded less than 20 dogs within that particular land type.
Table 3.
The table reports the coverage of the total number of vaccinated dogs in the housing category divided by the total number of animals in housing category.
The 5th percentile is the 5th percentile of all individual survey coverages in that class & similar for 95th.
Table 4.
Age distribution of dogs stratified by static point and those vaccinated door-to-door vaccination efforts.
Puppies were classified as approximately less than 3 months of age. This table does not include 365 static point vaccination records made on paper during the campaign.
