Brucellosis is caused by bacteria from the genus Brucella which infect human and domestic animals as well as wildlife. The Maasai Mara National Reserve has vast populations of wild ruminants such as buffaloes and wildebeest which could contribute to the risk of brucellosis in livestoc...

capacity and infrastructure of government services for disease identification and control
are often limited. In the absence of systematic surveillance systems for animal
diseases, the information on pathogens affecting livestock has been filled by targeted
surveys conducted in certain locations a...

The known and the unknowns: A multipathogen survey to identify diseases in cattle herds in Tanzania
Cattle diseases remain a major constraint to increasing dairy productivity in Tanzania,
by killing or keeping them sick and under-producing. Recent studies report overall
mortality between 12 and 14 % in smallholder dairy cattle across different regions of
Tanzania. Many of these diseases can als...

Cattle diseases in dairy herds in Tanzania: Farmers’ view and laboratory confirmation
A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of Brucella spp. and Leptospira spp. and risk factors of exposure in cattle in three zones with varying land use types and wildlife–livestock interactions. Five villages were selected purposively; two in areas with intensive li...

We aimed to estimate the global occurrence of zoonotic tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium bovis or M. caprae infections in humans by performing a multilingual, systematic review and analysis of relevant scientific literature of the last 2 decades. Although information from many parts of th...
The demand for food and other ecosystem services have risen in the recent past in many parts of the world due to increasing human population. This has promoted agricultural intensification and increased extraction of natural resources particularly in the sub-Saharan Africa where people derive liv...

Pigs in Lao People’s Democratic Republic are important for income and food security, particularly in rural households. The majority of pigs are reared in smallholder systems, which may challenge the implementation of any disease control strategies. To investigate risk factors for pig production d...
