Table 5.

Appendix Costs, benefits, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios for control strategies when canine removal is not practiced. Costs are in 2010 USD, and both costs and life-years saved are cumulative over ten years and discounted to present-value terms with a 3% discount rate. Dominated strategies, which are italicized, are those which are more expensive and which provide less benefit than another strategy or combination of strategies.
