Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are a major economic constraint to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. ILRI is focussing on developing a range of products, such as vaccines, diagnostics and decision support services to underpin improved control programmes against these diseases. We have develo...

Development of sero-diagnostic and molecular tools for the control of important tick-borne pathogens of cattle in Africa
A real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the rapid detection of African swine fever virus (ASFV), multiplexed for simultaneous detection of swine beta-actin as an endogenous control, has been developed and validated by four National Reference Laboratories of the European Union for Af...

The primary goals of applying molecular tools, developed at ILRI in conjunction with the use of infection and treatment immunisation are quality control of vaccines; monitoring of possible vaccine breakthrough and breakdown; and assessment of the impact of introducing new parasite types on long-t...
