TL;DR: This study demonstrates that rabies has a large economic impact on the government and dog owners, and control of rabies by culling dogs is relatively costly for the dog owners in comparison with other measures.

TL;DR: Dog owners in Flores Island had a high level of knowledge of rabies and its control, but this was not associated with uptake of the 2012 vaccination campaign, and Geographical accessibility was one of the important factors influencing the vaccination uptake among dog owners.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors collected data on the activity patterns of owned domestic dogs from Guatemala and Indonesia and of farm dogs (n = 11) and family dogs(n = 20) in Switzerland for 2.4-7 days and measured the BarkPoints (a continuous activity metric recorded by the FitBark tracker) for each hour in the 24-hour cycle.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate dog demography, management, and roaming behavior across four countries: Chad, Guatemala, Indonesia, and Uganda, using an AIC-based approach to select variables.

TL;DR: The theory of planned behaviour was used to identify the factors, which are associated with the intention of dog owners to participate in rabies control measures in the Manggarai and Sikka regencies of Flores Island, Indonesia, and showed a significant association between perceived behavioural controls and intention to participate.
