Chasing rabies herd immunity: evaluating dog vaccination strategies and post-vaccination survey reliability in urban and peri-urban Bangladesh

Effective rabies control requires locally tailored vaccination strategies, real-time monitoring, and robust enumeration techniques to guide planning and ensure reliable evaluation of campaign impact.
