This paper discusses the potential contributions that dog ecology studies may make to the improved delivery of rabies control measures and the targeting of vaccination programmes in the region. Data requirements on dog population size and structure are discussed, methods for collection of such data are summarized, and the studies on dog ecology carried out to date within the region are reviewed.en© ARC-Onderstepoort (original). © University of Pretoria.
