Participatory investigation of important animal health problems amongst the Turkana pastoralists: Relative incidence, impact on livelihoods and suggested interventions
Until today HPAI in poultry is considered to be endemic in most of the Indonesian provinces since it was officially declared in 2004. Vaccination is used as one of the control strategies targeting layer and breeder farms but also Kampong (village) chicken. Limited information is available on the ...

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...

This study was designed to measure the transmissibility of Type A H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza
(HPAI) in mixed populations of backyard and small-scale commercial chickens in Java. An approach adapted
from infection tree reconstruction was used to trace affected chickens and households i...

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...

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...
