Data were obtained from animal bite incidents reported to Wellington\u2013Dufferin\u2013Guelph Public Health during 2010 and 2011. Descriptive statistics of 718 eligible reports revealed the average rate of animal biting was 1.55 bites per 1000 residents per year. Approximately 54% of these animals were vaccinated against rabies, 32% were not up to date with their rabies vaccination, and the remaining 14.5% were of unknown status. The unit of analysis was the municipality, and the four outcomes of interest were: (i) number of animal bite incidents per 1000 residents, (ii) number of dog bite incidents per 1000 residents, (iii) proportion of animals involved in bite incidents that were not up to date with their rabies vaccination, and (iv) proportion of dogs that were not up to date. Associations between the outcomes and selected demographic variables were investigated using regression analysis. The number of veterinary clinics per 10\u00a0000 residents, and whether the municipality was urban or rural were identified as significant predictors for the number of animal bites per 1000 residents, and the number of dog bites. There were no significant predictors for the proportion of unvaccinated animals or dogs. Spatial clustering and the location of spatial clusters were assessed using the empirical Bayes index and spatial scan test. This analysis identified five municipalities within the health department that have a high rate of biting incidents and a high proportion of animals that were not up to date on their rabies vaccination. Such municipalities are ideal for targeted educational campaigns regarding the importance of vaccination in pets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/zph.12101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,13]],"date-time":"2014-03-13T14:04:13Z","timestamp":1394719453000},"page":"499-508","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["An Evaluation of Rabies Vaccination Rates among Canines and Felines Involved in Biting Incidents within the Wellington\u2013Dufferin\u2013Guelph Public Health Department"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"K.","family":"Bottoms","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Population Medicine Ontario Veterinary College University of Guelph Guelph ON Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Trotz\u2010Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wellington\u2013Dufferin\u2013Guelph Public Health Guelph ON Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Hutchison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wellington\u2013Dufferin\u2013Guelph Public Health Guelph ON Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"MacLeod","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wellington\u2013Dufferin\u2013Guelph Public Health Guelph ON Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Dixon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wellington\u2013Dufferin\u2013Guelph Public Health Guelph ON Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"O.","family":"Berke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Population Medicine Ontario Veterinary College University of Guelph Guelph ON Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Z.","family":"Poljak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Population Medicine Ontario Veterinary College University of Guelph Guelph ON Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0258(19990830)18:16<2147::AID-SIM179>3.0.CO;2-I"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","unstructured":"Canadian Communicable Disease Report (CCDR) 2002:A survey of knowledge attitudes and practices of dog and cat owners with respect to vaccinating their pets against rabies.Ottawa\u2010Carlton ON July 2000. 28:1\u20136."},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","unstructured":"Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) 2011:Positive Rabies in Canada.
