RABIES CONTROL MEASURES IN AZERBAIJAN: SURVEY OF STRAY DOG POPULATION IN BAKU
2021
Hasanov, Eldar
We assessed populations of stray dogs in the city of Baku, Azerbaijan, where cases of rabies among humans and animals are still found in the republic. In Baku, the density of stray dogs was 2480-3160 stray dogs / km?, and the ratio of stray dogs to people was 1: 4.7. Since the population of stray dogs in Azerbaijan is very large, one of the measures used to prevent dog bites and dog-infected infections such as rabies is to try to catch stray dogs. Another such measure is an attempt to reduce the availability of food for stray dogs. In addition to the above measures and routine vaccination of dogs, this health education course is recommended as a long-term preventive program.
