This project is an international cooperative initiative to introduce dog-oriented preventive veterinary medicine in model localities in the districts of Marsabit and Samburu, Kenya. The vaccination of dogs against rabies and improvement of public awareness seek to minimize the impact of rabies on the rural population and prevent further fatal cases in humans. The success of this local project should encourage wider vaccination campaigns in Kenyan districts affected by outbreaks of rabies. Mt. Kulal is an ideal model site for such a study, being isolated but having a basic infrastructure and medium-sized human and dog populations.
