This paper characterises the dairy farming system in Dagoretti, Nairobi. Characterisation was part of a broader ecohealth project to estimate the prevalence and risk of cryptosporidiosis and develop risk mitigation strategies. In the project a trans-disciplinary team addressed epidemiological, so...

In the tropics, staples such as maize are often contaminated with mycotoxins, harmful
by-products of fungal metabolism. In particular, high exposure to aflatoxins may cause
fatal illness in people and animals, while chronic exposure can cause liver cancer in
humans and, in domestic animals, growt...
