Food safety standards require the implementation of specific standards from production-to-consumption. The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) is now a widely accepted methodology in risk analysis for industrially processed foods. The application of HACCP is a bigger challenge in deve...

A one-year longitudinal study was conducted in 92 smallholder diary farms in Kwale district of Kenya, to evaluate the efficacy of Spot-on® (a 10% deltamethrin pour-on) in the control of East Coast fever, anaplasmosis, babesiosis and trypanosomosis. A comparison of the annual incidence and mortali...

The mechanisms by which the rabies virus persists in a host population are unclear. Mathematical models of rabies have difficulty in explaining how the rabies virus persists in the host population between epidemics. Simple deterministic models of rabies predict an unrealistically low number of in...
