Influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on dog ownership and rabies vaccination in Metropolitan Lima

The aim of this study was to determine the possible influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on dog ownership and anti-rabies vaccination practices in Metropolitan Lima (Peru), taking as a source of information the National Survey of Budgetary Programmes (ENAPRES) carried out by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática (INEI) in the period 2017-2021. The proportion of respondents who owned at least one dog per household had an increasing trend, reaching the highest proportions in the pandemic years (2020: 47.5%; 2021: 50.8%). The districts of Lima Sur and Lima Centro presented the highest (52.1-58%) and lowest (31.6-42.4%) proportion of respondents with dogs, respectively. According to the socioeconomic stratum (ESE), dog ownership had an inverse relationship (rs=-0.95), with a higher proportion in sector E (51.5-60.7%) and lower in sector A (32.5-43.1%). The proportion of vaccinated animals had a decreasing trend, reaching the lowest coverage during the pandemic years (2020: 84.8%; 2021: 82.4%). The highest proportion of vaccinated dogs was found in Lima Centro (88.1-95.9%). According to ESE, the relationship was direct (rs=0.813). The highest proportion of vaccinated animals during the pre-pandemic and pandemic years occurred in ESE A (90.3-95%) and B (87.8-94.8%). In all the years of the study, the lowest proportions of vaccinated animals were in ESE E (75-80.2%). The study shows that dog ownership and rabies vaccination coverage were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The results can be used to assess the sanitary measures implemented to keep the capital free of urban rabies.

El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la posible influencia de la pandemia COVID-19 sobre la tenencia de canes y prácticas de vacunación antirrábica en los pobladores de Lima Metropolitana (Perú), tomando como fuente de información la Encuesta Nacional de Programas Presupuestales (ENAPRES) realizada por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática (INEI) en el periodo 2017-2021. La proporción de encuestados que poseían al menos un can por vivienda tuvo una tendencia creciente, alcanzando las mayores proporciones en los años de pandemia (2020: 47.5%; 2021: 50.8%). Los distritos de Lima Sur y Lima Centro presentaron la mayor (52.1-58%) y menor (31.6-42.4%) proporción de encuestados con canes, respectivamente. De acuerdo con el estrato socioeconómico (ESE), la tenencia de canes tuvo una relación inversa (rs=-0.95), habiendo una mayor proporción en el sector E (51.5-60.7%) y menor en el sector A (32.5-43.1%). La proporción de animales vacunados tuvo una tendencia decreciente, alcanzando las menores coberturas durante los años de pandemia (2020: 84.8%; 2021: 82.4%). La mayor proporción de canes vacunados se encontró en Lima Centro (88.1-95.9%). Según ESE, la relación fue directa (rs=0.813). La mayor proporción de animales vacunados en los años prepandemia y pandemia se presentaron en los ESE A (90.3-95%) y B (87.8-94.8%), principalmente. En todos los años de estudio, las menores proporciones de animales vacunados se alcanzaron en el ESE E (75-80.2%). El estudio muestra que la tenencia de canes y las coberturas de vacunación antirrábica se vieron afectadas por la pandemia COVID-19. Los resultados pueden servir para valorar las medidas sanitarias implementadas para mantener a la capital libre de rabia urbana.
