We implemented a cross-sectional study in Tana River County, Kenya, a Rift Valley fever (RVF)-endemic area, to quantify the strength of association between RVF virus (RVFv) seroprevalences in livestock and humans, and their respective intra-cluster correlation coefficients (ICCs). The study invol...

Introduction: Leptospirosis is a bacterial zoonotic disease with wide geographical spread. Its presence in Kenya and some of the neighbouring countries has been documented before and it is thought to contribute significantly to the number of febrile cases in human populations and abortions in liv...

Introduction: Livestock value chains are an important source of employment, income and nutrition in
developing countries. Increasing income has led to high demand for animal source products.
Zoonoses pose a public health challenge to people producing, handling, processing and consuming
