Case study: assessing numbers

Having explored, how quantitative One Health methods apply to rabies control, let us investigate an actual example. The following chart not only discloses the real costs of a campaign. It also displays content important for the next step, a test.

The cost of rabies control in dogs involves costs for vaccination, personnel, transport and campaign management. During a small scale dog mass vaccination campaign the costs incurred were recorded. The table (Kayali et al, 2006) below shows those numbers.
