Background
Brucella spp. is a zoonotic bacterial agent of high public health and socio-economic importance. It infects many species of animals including wildlife, and people may get exposed through direct contact with an infected animal or consumption of raw or undercooked animal products. A link...

Ancient farming styles and old zoonoses: Brucellosis and Q fever among pastoralist and smallholder cattle herds in Tanzania
Brucellosis is endemic among dairy animals in India, contributing to production losses and posing a health risk to people, especially farmers and others in close contact with dairy animals or their products. Growing urban populations demand increased milk supplies, resulting in intensifying dairy...

The known and the unknowns: A multipathogen survey to identify diseases in cattle herds in Tanzania
Cattle diseases remain a major constraint to increasing dairy productivity in Tanzania,
by killing or keeping them sick and under-producing. Recent studies report overall
mortality between 12 and 14 % in smallholder dairy cattle across different regions of
Tanzania. Many of these diseases can als...

Cattle diseases in dairy herds in Tanzania: Farmers’ view and laboratory confirmation
We carried out a stratified, cluster-randomised, controlled trial in south Mali in 2004 to evaluate the impact of providing information on the diagnosis and treatment of bovine trypanosomosis by farmers. We recruited cattle farmers (444) in 46 villages and used stratified, restricted-randomisatio...

Training farmers in rational drug-use improves their management of cattle trypanosomosis: a cluster-randomised trial in south Mali
This paper reports a study estimating the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis, an emerging zoonosis, in people and cattle in Dagoretti, Nairobi. A repeated cross-sectional survey was carried out among randomly selected cattle keepers in Dagoretti, their dairy cattle and their non-cattle-keeping neigh...

This study was carried out in Northeast Guinea to investigate farmer knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) relating to trypanosomosis management; elucidate factors that influence animal-health-seeking behaviour and outcome; and investigate factors associated with high risk for chemo-resistance. ...
