目的 估计有主人的狗和猫的总数量，以便更好地规划针对这些动物疾病的控制行动。 方法 本研究于 2002 年 5 月至 12 月在巴西圣保罗州的非大都市地区进行。对 41 个城市和 100 个人口普查区进行了调查。这些是通过两个阶段的概率分层整群抽样选择的。这些阶层是根据人口和生活条件对城市进行分组而形成的。巴斯德圣保罗技术用于获取犬类种群的数据。这项技术的开发目的是根据狗的依赖和限制程度对狗进行评估和分类。结果 在访问的 20,958 个家庭中，近 53% 的家庭拥有一只狗，平均每户有 1.6 只狗。共发现猫4624只，集中在12.6%的家庭中。结果表明，狗/居民的比例为1：4.0，猫/居民的比例为1：16.4。结论动物/居民的比例远高于预期。将这些比率纳入狂犬病疫苗接种活动的评估中，揭示了更现实的覆盖模式，从而引发了对市政当局疫苗接种目标的重新讨论。研究发现，城市规模或其居民的生活条件与对狗的限制程度之间存在关联。
Objective To estimate the total dog and cat population with owners in order to enable better planning of the control actions against diseases involving these animals.Methods The study was carried out in the non-metropolitan regions of the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, from May to December 2002. Forty-one municipalities and 100 census tracts were surveyed. These were selected by probabilistic stratified cluster sampling in two stages. The strata were formed by grouping the municipalities according to their populations and living conditions. The Pasteur Sao Paulo Technique was used to obtain data on the canine population. This technique was developed to estimate and classify dogs according to their degree of dependence and restriction.Results Almost 53% of the 20,958 households visited owned a dog, and the average was 1.6 dogs per household. A total of 4,624 cats were found, concentrated in 12.6% of the households. The results indicate a dog/inhabitant ratio of 1:4.0 and a cat/inhabitant ratio of 1: 16.4.Conclusions The animal/inhabitant ratios were much higher than expected. Incorporation of these ratios into evaluations of the vaccination campaign against rabies has revealed more realistic coverage patterns, thus leading to renewed discussion of the vaccination targets for municipalities. An association was observed between the size of the municipality or its inhabitant's living conditions and the level of restrictions on dogs.
