Seroprevalence and predisposing factors of rabies antibodies in unvaccinated dogs in Sierra Leone.

Objective: This study determines the seroprevalence and associated factors of rabies in unvaccinated dogs in Sierra Leone.

Background: Rabies control is poorly coordinated in Sierra Leone which was ranked as the third hungriest country in the world. Due to limited access to rabies vaccines, the need for comprehensive serological data on dogs for control of the disease is expedient.
