Estimated number of diagnosed cases, death cases and vaccination coverage of anthrax, foot and mouth disease, haemorrhagic septicaemia, peste des petits ruminants and dog bite/rabies in livestock (cattle, goats, sheep and buffaloes) in Bangladesh, 2010–2012.

*CI = Confidence intervals. δCalculated based on the number of livestock (cattle, buffaloes, sheep and goats) examined, which is 1,576,562 in 2010; 1,896,815 in 2011; and 1,255,145 in 2012 (only sheep and goats 576,936 in 2010; 695,845 in 2011; and 415,007 in 2012). †Calculated based on susceptible livestock population (buffaloes, cattle, goats and sheep) in Bangladesh, which is 42,594,399 [5]. ‡Calculated based on goat and sheep population only, which is 17,459,061 [5]. θThe term “dog bite” is used for a suspected rabies case as every animal bite (mostly dog bite) is potentially suspected as rabid animal bite, as the rabies control program in animals is nonexistent in Bangladesh [22]. Calculated based on reported dog bite cases assuming that all death cases are from rabies.
