    AbstractThe authors analysed laboratory samples testing positive for rabies virus collected between 2000 and 2005 from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, to assess the spatial and spatio-temporal distribution of the endemic of canine rabies. According to the results of the spatial analysis, canine rabies was not evenly distributed in the city. Significant spatio-temporal clustering of canine rabies cases showed a trend towards clusters with high incidence rates in two particular areas compared with surrounding areas in the city. Benefits obtained from each of the analytical techniques utilised are described and practical difficulties in conducting and interpreting the results are discussed.
