Abstract

Canine rabies remains an important public health problem in Africa. Mass vaccination of dogs is the recommended method for the control and elimination of rabies. We report the second free mass vaccination campaign of the dog in the communes V and VI of the district of Bamako that took place in September 2014. The objective was to estimate vaccination coverage by evaluating the effectiveness of the vaccination campaign and to determine the effectiveness parameters of the intervention by the capture mark recapture method and the Bayesian model. In commune V, vaccination coverage was 27% with a canine population estimated at 1531 and the proportion of dogs without owners was 2%. For commune VI, the canine population was estimated at 3510 with a vaccination coverage of 20%. The proportion of the non-owner dog population was 8%. The final effectiveness was 33% and 28% respectively in communes V and VI. Availability has been identified as the most sensitive effectiveness parameter attributed to the lack of campaign information. Despite low immunization coverage, it is possible to carry out vaccination campaigns that had an impact in Bamako district. For higher immunization coverage, a vaccination strategy adapted locally, perhaps, through a combination of fixed-line immunization and door-to-door vaccination.
