An outbreak of the viral zoonotic disease Rift Valley fever in East Africa in 2006/07 left more than 300 people dead and caused economic losses in Kenya alone estimated to exceed USD 30 million. Participatory studies undertaken shortly after the outbreaks abated enabled valuable lessons to be lea...

Participatory epidemiology is the application of participatory methods to epidemiological research and disease surveillance. It is a proven technique which overcomes many of the limitations of conventional epidemiological methods, and has been used to solve a number of animal health surveillance ...

Following the 2006-2007 outbreak of RVF in East Africa, the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), UN-FAO and US-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention organized a series of meeting for decision-makers to discuss how responses to the outbreak could have been conducted in a more ti...

Pastoral cattle live in highly structured communities characterized by complex contact patterns. The present paper describes a spatially heterogeneous model for the transmission of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) developed specifically for pastoral communities of East Africa. The model i...

The development of a stochastic, state-transition model of rinderpest transmission dynamics is described using parameter estimates obtained from both laboratory and participatory research. Using serological data, the basic reproduction numbers for lineage-1 rinderpest virus in southern Sudan and ...

A large-scale mass vaccination campaign was carried out in Java, Indonesia in an attempt to control outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in backyard flocks and commercial smallholder poultry. Sero-monitoring was conducted in mass vaccination and control areas to assess the propor...

To capture lessons from the 2007 Rift Valley fever (RVF) outbreak, epidemiological studies were carried out in Kenya and Tanzania. Somali pastoralists proved to be adept at recognizing symptoms of RVF and risk factors such as heavy rainfall and mosquito swarms. Sandik, which means "bloody nose," ...

Animal health surveillance needs to provide information for action. Veterinary Services (VS), particularly in developing countries, are often under-resourced in personnel and budget and thus lack frequent contact with livestock farmers. By emphasizing the importance of farmers’ knowledge and ex...
