Information sharing is an important pillar for any strategy that aims to control infectious diseases especially in farms and systems that are connected. A study was designed to analyze practices related to sharing of animal health information and identify health constraints affecting livestock ke...

Theileria are important hemoprotozoan parasites of domestic and wild ruminants, transmitted by ixodid ticks leading to diseases which range from mild in apparent reactions to highly fatal diseases. Bovine-infecting T. parva and T. annulata and ovine-infecting T. lestoquardi are of major global ec...
(ACMV) were assessed in shoots regenerated from single-node cuttings of three cassava genotypes differing in resistance to ACMV. Plants of the moderately resistant TMS 4(2)1425 and susceptible TMS 60506 did not recover from the disease as rapidly as those of the resistant TMS 30001, Recovery was ...

The field studies reported in this thesis on epidemiology and chemotherapy of Trypanosoma evansi in camels were conducted for a period of 18 months on two herds of camels located at Ngurunit and Olturot, in Marsabit District, Northern Kenya. In this area, camels provide subsistence for a nomadic ...

The understanding of factors contributing to the appearance and maintenance of trypanosome drug resistance in the field is very limited,. yet this type of information would be very useful in the design of trypanosomosis control strategies. This thesis describes a study that was carried out in Muk...

Foodborne diseases (FBDs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the human population. Accurate information on the burden of FBDs is needed to inform policy makers and allocate appropriate resources for food safety control and intervention. Consequently, in 2006 the WHO launched an initi...

African swine fever virus used to occur primarily in Africa. There had been occasional incursions into Europe or America which apart from the endemic situation on the island of Sardinia always had been successfully controlled. But following an introduction of the virus in 2007, it now has expande...
