Abstract

Present study was carried out from randomly selected population of 120 dog-owner respondents from 3 urban cities of Gujarat state (India), viz., Ahmedabad, Anand and Vadodara to report percentage analysis of dog-owners on their knowledge level for prevention of leptospirosis in dogs. Highest percentage (29.17%) of respondents possessed knowledge about dog being off-fed in leptospirosis while lowest percentage of respondents (09.16%) were aware of the fact that leptospirosis can be transmitted by direct contact with infected dog or tissues. Details of the survey have been mentioned in this research note. The data would provide new insights to know present status and to create awareness in urban areas of Gujarat state regarding this potential zoonotic disease.
KEY WORDS: Leptospirosis, Knowledge level, Dog-owners, Urban area, Gujarat.
