Dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) are an important protein source
for people in semi-arid and arid regions of Africa. In Kenya, camel populations
have grown dramatically in the past few decades resulting in the potential
for increased disease transmission between humans and camels. An

Minyoo Matata - The vicious worm - A Taenia solium computer-based health-education tool - in Swahili
The tapeworm Taenia solium is the parasite responsible for neurocysticercosis, a neglected tropical disease of public health importance, thought to cause approximately 1/3 of epilepsy cases across endemic regions. The consumption of undercooked infected pork perpetuates the parasite’s life-cycle ...

Modelling the risk of Taenia solium exposure from pork produced in western Kenya
Background: Q fever in Kenya is poorly reported and its surveillance is highly neglected. Standard empiric
treatment for febrile patients admitted to hospitals is antimalarials or penicillin-based antibiotics, which have no
activity against Coxiella burnetii. This study aimed to assess the seropr...

Background: African swine fever (ASF), caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV), is a severe haemorrhagic disease
of pigs, outbreaks of which can have a devastating impact upon commercial and small-holder pig production. Pig
production in western Kenya is characterised by low-input, free-range ...

Evidence for the presence of African swine fever virus in an endemic region of Western Kenya in the absence of any reported outbreak
The zoonotic helminth T. solium is one of the leading causes of acquired epilepsy in endemic countries, resulting in a high burden both in human health and social stigma of affected people (1–3). In 2012 T. solium was highlighted as a priority for control in the World Health Assembly resolution 6...

Harmonisation of data collection on antimicrobial use in livestock production
There is a need to find locally and globally relevant surveillance tools to measure disease prevalence and
inform control programs. Traditional veterinary knowledge has a contested role in surveillance systems.
We examined participatory epidemiology (PE) surveys for agreement between community pe...
