Aims: To optimize the different available molecular based techniques, validate the Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for detection of Capripoxviruses (CaPVs) DNA and deep sequencing to confirm the results of the LAMP assay and ensure that an effective and reliable detection meth...

The dynamics of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) transmission vary widely between livestock production systems. This paper describes the development of a homogeneous, stochastic, compartmental model for CBPP transmission in pastoral herds of East Africa. The model was built using paramete...

A model of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia transmission dynamics in East Africa
In a world of ever-increasing competition for resources, human, economic and environmental, it is now more important than ever before that a thorough understanding is acquired of the effect of large-scale interventions to relieve constraints to livestock production, such as disease control progra...
A review is presented on disease development in bean var. mixtures and in pure stands, the effect on diseases of adding resistance components to susceptible mixtures, and the potential on nongenetic methods to control diseases in mixtures. Four mechanisms seem to reduce disease incidence in var. ...
Heartwater is a severe tick-borne, non-contagious disease of ruminant livestock caused by the rickettsia Cowdria ruminantium, which is endemic in much of sub-Saharan Africa and in the Caribbean. Transmission occurs via ticks of the Amblyomma genus, primarily A. variegatum and A. hebraeum. Intense...

The general role of veterinary epidemiology and economics to national animal-disease control throughout the world is considered for the four main groupings of animal diseases: zoonotic, food-borne, endemic and epidemic diseases. This is done by considering how veterinary epidemiology and economic...
