^a Public servants/veterinarians/internist involved in rabies control measures in the past;

^b WHO [6];

^c Market price of water in Kupang was approximately Rp 75,000 per 4,000 liter (Rp 18.75 per liter). We assumed that a patient will use the water about 2 litre per minute, so for 15 minutes wound cleaning (as recommended by WHO [6] and IHM [38]) the water needed was about 30 litre. Thus the price of water equal Rp 563 (Rp 18.75×30) per patient.

^d Assumption based on the market price in Flores in October 2011.
