Dogs are good partners for people in Zambia the same as in most other countries. Therefore, control of zoonoses that can be shared among humans and dogs, such as rabies, is an important issue for both public health and animal health. Vaccination of dogs is one of the key measures for controlling rabies in humans and dogs. Kaneko (2021)
