Grace, DeliaMcDermott, John J.[Livestock epidemic]Livestock epidemic

The purpose of the study was to characterize the differences in epidemiology (risks of infection. morbidity. mortality) and potential control of East Coast fever (ECF) between the selected strata. Evidence of Theileria parva infection was assessed by increased antibody levels as measured in an in...


Gitau, G.K.McDermott, John J.Katende, J.M.Perry, Brian D.[The epidemiology of Theileria parva infections on smallholder dairy farms in Kenya]The epidemiology of Theileria parva infections on smallholder dairy farms in Kenya

Livestock systems in developing countries are characterised by rapid change, driven by factors such as population growth, increases in the demand for livestock products as incomes rise, and urbanisation. Climate change is adding to the considerable development challenges posed by these drivers of...


Thornton, Philip K.Herrero, Mario T.Freeman, H.A.Okeyo Mwai, AllyRege, J.E.O.Jones, Peter G.McDermott, John J.[Vulnerability, climate change and livestock - opportunities and challenges for the poor]Vulnerability, climate change and livestock - opportunities and challenges for the poor

A series of high-profile food-related scares around the globe has drawn attention to the issue of food safety and other health risks associated with agriculture. Because the scope of the problem is different at different levels of economic development, we need nuanced policy options to promote sa...

The current control strategies for tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis in cattle (trypanocidal drugs tsetse control and trypanotolerant cattle) are briefly reviewed and their adoption rates in different geographic regions of sub-Saharan Africa are presented. The impact of these control strategies a...


McDermott, John J.Coleman, P.G.[Comparing apples and oranges - model-based assessment of different tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis control strategies]Comparing apples and oranges - model-based assessment of different tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis control strategies

Cattle from 50 farms in Mukono County, Uganda, were monitored for trypanosomes every second month over an 18-month period (1995–1996) by mini-anion exchange chromatography and haematocrit centrifugation techniques. Eighteen trypanosome isolates collected from cattle during this period were charac...

We have carried out a study of risk factors for early detection of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense sleeping sickness. Records of sleeping sickness patients from 1987 to 2001 from Tororo and Busia districts in Uganda were reviewed for their village of origin and clinical stage (early or late). All...
