Staphylococcus aureus (SA) food poisoning results from consumption of preformed S. aureus enterotoxins in food. The enterotoxins are one of the most important virulence factors of the bacterium. The risk posed by contamination of milk intended for human consumption by pathogenic S. aureus in past...

Livestock-wildlife interactions promote the transmission of a wide range of infectious diseases that constraint livestock production. We used a participatory appraisal approach to find out and rank infectious diseases of concern to pastoralists in a zone of intense wildlife-livestock interaction ...
