Analysis of epidemiological surveillance data collected during the outbreak

Data on all of the rabies-positive and -negative samples collected from in and around the Harare city limits between 2010 and 2017 were collated and defined according to the following parameters: i) date, ii) animal species, iii) ownership information, v) suburb and provincial region, and vi) either the exact or approximated spatial coordinates. The spatiotemporal geographical plotting of the rabies-positive cases was visualized using the Tableau software package (version 10.5) [32].
