Gachohi, John M.Njenga, M.K.Kitala, P.Bett, Bernard K.[Correction: Modelling vaccination strategies against Rift Valley fever in livestock in Kenya]Correction: Modelling vaccination strategies against Rift Valley fever in livestock in Kenya

The planet’s mean air and ocean temperatures have been rising over the last century because of increasing greenhouse gas emissions. These changes have substantial effects on the epidemiology of infectious diseases. We describe direct and indirect processes linking climate change and infectious di...


Bett, Bernard K.Kiunga, P.Gachohi, John M.Sindato, C.Mbotha, D.Robinson, Timothy P.Lindahl, Johanna F.Grace, Delia[Effects of climate change on the occurrence and distribution of livestock diseases]Effects of climate change on the occurrence and distribution of livestock diseases

In this article, we review the epidemiology of East Coast fever (ECF), a tick borne infection of cattle, in Kenya. The major factors associated with epidemiology of ECF include the agro-ecological zone (AEZ), livestock production system (LPS) and both animal breed and age. These factors appear to...

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an emerging viral disease spreading throughout Kenya and East Africa causing major losses in the small stock. This study is an attempt to evaluate small stock management practices in Turkana pastoral system, Kenya as predictors of PPR outbreaks. Information o...


Kihu, S.M.Gachohi, John M.Gitao, C.G.Bebora, L.C.Njenga, J.M.Wairire, G.G.Maingi, N.Wahome, R.G.[Analysis of small ruminants’ pastoral management practices as risk factors of peste des petits ruminants (PPR) spread in Turkana District, Kenya]Analysis of small ruminants’ pastoral management practices as risk factors of peste des petits ruminants (PPR) spread in Turkana District, Kenya

A cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of ectoparasites and possible risk factors in free-range pigs from 135 farms of Busia District, Kenya.Three hundred and six pigs were examined for presence of external parasites using standard parasitological methods. Data on mana...

The principle objective of this study was to estimate the infection seroprevalence and identify risk factors associated with Theileria parva infection in cattle on smallholder farms in Machakos County, Kenya. A total of 127 farms were selected by a proportional allocation approach based on the nu...

Background The impacts of vaccination on the transmission of Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) have not been evaluated. We have developed a RVFV transmission model comprising two hosts—cattle as a separate host and sheep and goats as one combined host (herein after referred to as sheep)—and two vec...
