Lawson, S.E.Mariner, Jeffrey C.Jost, ChristineMadri Dewi, A.P.[Avian Influenza H5N1 outbreaks in village poultry of West Java, Indonesia: A detailed investigation using participatory epidemiology]Avian Influenza H5N1 outbreaks in village poultry of West Java, Indonesia: A detailed investigation using participatory epidemiology

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...


Elsawalhy, A.Mariner, Jeffrey C.Chibeu, D.Wamway, H.Wakhusama, S.Olaho-Mukani, W.Toye, Philip G.[Pan African strategy for the progressive control of peste des petits ruminants (Pan African ppr strategy)]Pan African strategy for the progressive control of peste des petits ruminants (Pan African ppr strategy)

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...

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...


Mariner, Jeffrey C.McDermott, John J.Heesterbeek, J.A.P.Thomson, G.Martin, S.W.[A model of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia transmission dynamics in East Africa]A model of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia transmission dynamics in East Africa

Pastoral cattle live in highly structured communities characterized by complex contact patterns. The present paper describes a spatially heterogeneous model for the transmission of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) developed specifically for pastoral communities of East Africa. The model i...


Mariner, Jeffrey C.McDermott, John J.Heesterbeek, J.A.P.Thomson, G.Roeder, P.L.Martin, S.W.[A heterogeneous population model for contagious bovine pleuropneumonia transmission and control in pastoral communities of East Africa]A heterogeneous population model for contagious bovine pleuropneumonia transmission and control in pastoral communities of East Africa

The development of a stochastic, state-transition model of rinderpest transmission dynamics is described using parameter estimates obtained from both laboratory and participatory research. Using serological data, the basic reproduction numbers for lineage-1 rinderpest virus in southern Sudan and ...


Mariner, Jeffrey C.McDermott, John J.Heesterbeek, J.A.P.Catley, A.Roeder, P.[A model of lineage-1 and lineage-2 rinderpest virus transmission in pastoral areas of East Africa]A model of lineage-1 and lineage-2 rinderpest virus transmission in pastoral areas of East Africa

To capture lessons from the 2007 Rift Valley fever (RVF) outbreak, epidemiological studies were carried out in Kenya and Tanzania. Somali pastoralists proved to be adept at recognizing symptoms of RVF and risk factors such as heavy rainfall and mosquito swarms. Sandik, which means "bloody nose," ...


Jost, ChristineNzietchueng, S.Kihu, S.Bett, Bernard K.Njogu, G.Swai, E.S.Mariner, Jeffrey C.[Epidemiological assessment of the Rift Valley fever outbreak in Kenya and Tanzania in 2006 and 2007]Epidemiological assessment of the Rift Valley fever outbreak in Kenya and Tanzania in 2006 and 2007

Participatory surveillance (PS) is the application of participatory rural appraisal methods to the collection of epidemiological information to inform decision-making and action. It was applied in Africa and Asia as part of emergency programs to address the H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza ...
