Rinderpest was a devastating disease of livestock responsible for continent-wide famine and poverty. Centuries of veterinary advances culminated in 2011 with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Organization for Animal Health declaring global eradication of rinderpest; only the ...

Rinderpest: The veterinary perspective on eradication
The research objective was to develop a thermostable vaccine against peste des petits ruminants (PPR), a morbilliviral disease of small ruminants targeted for eradication that is a major constraint on the livelihoods of the rural poor throughout much of Africa and Asia. Although existing PPR vacc...

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp.
mycoides (Mmm) is an economically very important cattle disease in sub-Saharan Africa.
CBPP impacts animal health and poverty of livestock-dependent people through decreased
animal productivity, reduced food supply, and...

Avian Influenza H5N1 outbreaks in village poultry of West Java, Indonesia: A detailed investigation using participatory epidemiology
A participatory epidemiological (PE) study was carried out with Turkana pastoralists in Turkana South District, Kenya, to determine the relative incidence of livestock diseases and their impact on livelihoods. A sub-location was used as the sampling unit. A sub-location is the smallest administra...

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a major constraint to the livelihoods and food security of small scale farmers. The epidemiology and biology of PPR virus has much in common with rinderpest virus (RP), an agent that has been globally eradicated. This document presents a strategy for the progre...

Peste des petits ruminants made its first clinical appearance in Pakistan during an epidemic in Punjab Province in 1991, but its level of activity in subsequent years was never systematically recorded. In 2003, 2004 and 2005 teams trained in participatory disease surveillance methods visited a la...

In developing countries, vaccination against highly pathogenic avian influenza subtype H5N1 (HPAI) in free-range poultry flocks is usually implemented as periodic campaigns and newborn chicks are generally not vaccinated by farmers between vaccination passes. The demographic population turnover l...

The dynamics of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) transmission vary widely between livestock production systems. This paper describes the development of a homogeneous, stochastic, compartmental model for CBPP transmission in pastoral herds of East Africa. The model was built using paramete...
