ABSTRACT
Rabies vaccination is mandatory in dogs in Thailand. In this study, shelter management quality and rabies immune status were evaluated by questionnaire and rabies virus neutralising antibody (RVNA) measurement. The questionnaire was designed to assess all relevant factors of shelter management, which could impact the rabies vaccine antibody response. Thirteen participating shelters were classified into 4 groups, namely group A (best), B (good), C (fair), and D (require improvement). Sera were collected from randomly selected dogs (n = 113) within 4 weeks after rabies re-vaccination from a representative shelter of group B, C and D. Sample from group A was not included in the study due to time limitation. Both the number of dogs with acceptable response (RVNA ≥ 0.5 IU/ml) and the RVNA titres were significantly higher in group B than group C and D. Our results indicate that the quality of shelter management could affect rabies immune status.
