Vet. Sci."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Vaccination is the main tool to prevent the circulation of rabies in dog populations. The development of an immune response after vaccination differs between individual dogs and depends on many factors such as dog characteristics, management, or genetics. Here, we first investigated the level of, and associated factors for, the presence of binding antibodies in 130 healthy dogs from Flores Island, Indonesia. Secondly, we identified factors associated with the development of binding antibodies within 30 days after vaccination among a subsample of dogs that had a binding antibody titre &amp;lt;0.5 EU\/ml at the day of vaccination (D0, <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 91). Blood samples were collected from the individual dogs immediately before vaccination at D0 and 30 days after vaccination (D30). The rabies antibody titres were determined using ELISAs. Information on potential risk factors such as the dog's age and sex, history of vaccination, type and frequency of feeding, and BCS (body condition score) were gathered during interviews at D0. Regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors associated with the presence of binding antibody titre \u22650.5 EU\/ml at D0 for the 130 dogs and the development of binding antibody titre \u22650.5EU\/ml at D30 for the 91 dogs. The results showed that the proportion of dogs with antibody titre \u22650.5 EU\/ml was 30% (39\/130) at D0. The only factors found to be significantly influencing the presence of binding antibodies titres \u22650.5 EU\/ml was previous vaccination within 1 year before D0 [46.8 vs. 14.7%, Odds ratio (OR) = 3.6, 95%CI 1.5\u20139.3; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-value = 0.006], although the same trend was found for dogs of higher age and better BCS. Eighty-six percent (79\/91) of dogs whose rabies binding antibody level was &amp;lt;0.5 EU\/ml at D0 had developed an adequate immune response (\u22650.5 EU\/ml) at D30. Almost a significantly higher proportion developed an adequate immune response in dogs of good BCS compared to those of poor BCS (95.3% vs. 79.2%, OR = 4.7, 95%CI 1.1\u201332.5; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-value = 0.057. Twelve (13.2%) dogs retain binding antibody level &amp;lt;0.5 EU\/ml at D30, indicating poor immune response after vaccination. A majority of them did not receive vaccine before D0 according to the owner and had poor BCS (83.3%; 10\/12). Our findings show the high effectiveness of rabies vaccine in under field conditions to develop measurable immunity and the importance of a good BCS, often achievable by good dog keeping conditions, for developing efficient immunity after parenteral vaccination in dogs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2022.868380","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,9]],"date-time":"2022-06-09T05:50:47Z","timestamp":1654753847000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Immune
