Description

This is a repository of Human to Dog Ratio (HDR) and dog population estimates gathered from published literature and used to conduct geographical risk assessments with the Settlement Type and Road Connectivity (STARC) methodology.

The estimates in this repository are intended to help inform critical interventions such as dog vaccination planning and surveillance activities. This repository will be updated regularly to reflect new studies that provide improved estimates.
