Since 1989, a step-wise series of farming systems surveys and epidemiological studies have been carried out in coastal Kenya to identify and resolve major disease constraints affecting smallholder dairy production. This paper describes the sequential studies and reports on the significance of, an...

Systematic epidemiological studies to identify and resolve health constraints to smallholder dairy production in coastal lowland Kenya
A longitudinal study was carried out in the coastal lowlands coconut¯cassava agro-ecological zone of Kaloleni Division, Coast Province, Kenya between June 1990 and December 1991 to estimate disease incidence and cause-specific case-fatality risk in an average of 120 cattle in 26 small-holder dai...

A longitudinal study of disease incidence and case fatality risks on smallholder dairy farms in coastal Kenya
A cross-sectional study was carried out from July to September 1989 in Kaloleni Division, Coast Province, Kenya to estimate the prevalence of vector-transmitted diseases in small-holder dairy cattle and to identify the risk factors associated with different management systems. One hundred and thi...

Seroprevalences of vector-transmitted infections of small-holder dairy cattle in coastal Kenya
East Coast fever (ECF), caused by Theileria parva, is the most important tick-borne disease of cattle in much of eastern, central and southern Africa. In Kenya, immunization against ECF has been performed in many field trials using the infection and treatment method. The main targets for immuniza...

Variations in prevalence rates of tick-borne diseases in Zebu cattle by agroecological zone: Implications for East Coast fever immunization
Two experiments were carried out to identify the target population of cattle for immunisation against East Coast fever (ECF) using the infection-and-treatment method. Firstly, a sentinel-calf study was used to determine the age window for ECF immunisation by determining ages at clinical detection...
