Risk of Canine Rabies Transmission as Displayed by the Number of Unvaccinated Dogs per 1 000 Human Population, Uganda 2013. *Model estimated were used to predict the number of unvaccinated dogs per 1 000 human population. Areas with vaccination coverage > 70% are identified in grey, as enzootic transmission is not thought to occur at these vaccination levels. Areas with fewer than 4 dogs per square kilometre are identified in black, as the dog population density may be too low to support enzootic transmission of the virus. However, areas in black are still susceptible to epizootic events when rabid animals are introduced to the community, such as the case with importing dogs from other rabies enzootic communities. The areas remaining in red are places with estimated large populations of both people and unvaccinated dogs, representing a greater risk for dog to human rabies transmission events
