Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a zoonotic arbovirus affecting livestock and people. This study was conducted in western Kenya where RVFV outbreaks have not previously been reported. The aims were to document the seroprevalence and risk factors for RVFV antibodies in a community-based sample fr...

Slaughterhouse workers are considered a high risk group for zoonotic disease due to increased contact
with animals, animal products and excreta. Globally, slaughterhouse workers have been shown to have an
increased seroprevalence to zoonotic pathogens, though no such studies exist in Kenya. Slaug...

Tick-borne diseases are a major impediment to improved productivity of livestock in sub-Saharan Africa. Improved control of these diseases would be assisted by detailed epidemiological data. Here we used longitudinal, serological data to determine the patterns of exposure to Theileria parva, Thei...

In this presentation we would like to introduce a novel diagnostic tool for Taenia solium cysticercosis in
the porcine host. This tool is a rapid, user-friendly lateral flow format assay utilising the HP10 monoclonal
antibody. We will describe the production of this assay, its performance as judg...

The transmission dynamics of infectious disease depends on the frequency and type of contacts between
susceptible and infectious individuals or groups. Between-farm contact structures have been defined in
several countries, and have been widely used to model disease spread. In this study, we desc...

In natural populations, individuals may be infected with multiple distinct pathogens at a time. These pathogens may act independently or interact with each other and the host through various mechanisms, with resultant varying outcomes on host health and survival. To study effects of pathogens and...
