An outbreak of the viral zoonotic disease Rift Valley fever in East Africa in
2006/07 left more than 300 people dead and caused economic losses in Kenya
alone estimated to exceed USD 30 million. Participatory studies undertaken
shortly after the outbreaks abated enabled valuable lessons to be lea...

Assessing the accuracy of a clinical outbreak definition for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI)
Animal health surveillance needs to provide information for action. Veterinary Services (VS), particularly in developing countries, are often under-resourced in personnel and budget and thus lack frequent contact with livestock farmers. By emphasizing the importance of farmers’ knowledge and ex...
