ABSTRACT
A total of 50 blood sera samples, including 25 samples each of unvaccinated stray dogs and dogs which received pre-exposure prophylaxis 2-6 month before sampling, were collected from animal welfare centers situated in Mumbai city. The sera samples were subjected to counter immuno electrophoresis (CIEP) test. CIEP titers ranged from 1:4 to 1:64 in 24/25 vaccinated dogs. However, 10/25 unvaccinated dogs, showed rabies antibodies titers, of which 5 had higher (1:8) antibodies titers, indicating the prevalence of rabies in the stray dogs.Keywords: Antibody, blood, CIEP, dog, prophylaxis, rabies, serum
