Burden of rabies in the face of poor surveillance across African localities and nations : effective dog population management strategies

The following files pertain to the research data utilized and produced during the PhD thesis titled "Analysis of rabies surveillance in selected African localities and prospects for continent-wide improvements." This data includes the appendix materials featured in the thesis, as well as the datasets compiled for the systematic review. LFD devices were highly specific and sensitive in diagnostically screening rabies cases but also showed that their implementation boosted the surveillance network on the island, leading to a more active surveillance approach.
