Kiara, Henry K.McDermott, John J.O'Callaghan, C.J.Randolph, Thomas F.Perry, Brian D.[Estimating biological parameters for modelling the transmission dynamics of Theileria parva infection]Estimating biological parameters for modelling the transmission dynamics of Theileria parva infection
O'Callaghan, C.J.Medley, G.F.Kiara, Henry K.McDermott, John J.Musoke, A.J.Morzaria, S.P.Perry, Brian D.[Quantitative analysis of dose-response effects in the transmission dynamics of Theileria parva and the impact of sporozoite-neutralising vaccines]Quantitative analysis of dose-response effects in the transmission dynamics of Theileria parva and the impact of sporozoite-neutralising vaccines

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

A framework for the impact assessment of disease control strategies for Newcastle disease (ND) is discussed. This includes linking epidemiological and economic data to predict the relative impact of different control interventions at different levels from farm to region. Epidemiological transmis...


McDermott, John J.Coleman, P.Randolph, Thomas F.[Methods for assessing the impact of infectious diseases of livestock - their role in improving the control of Newcastle disease in Southern Africa]Methods for assessing the impact of infectious diseases of livestock - their role in improving the control of Newcastle disease in Southern Africa

Resistance to the drugs used to control African animal trypanosomosis is increasingly recognised as a constraint to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. The most commonly used tests for detection of trypanocidal drug resistance are tests using mice or ruminants, but these suffer from lack ...


Eisler, M.C.Brandt, J.Bauer, B.Clausen, P.H.Delespaux, V.Holmes, P.H.Ilemobade, A.Machila, N.Mbwambo, H.McDermott, John J.Mehlitz, D.Murilla, G.Ndung'u, J.M.Peregrine, A.S.Sidibe, I.Sinyangwe, L.Geerts, S.[Standardised tests in mice and cattle for the detection of drug resistance in tsetse-transmitted trypanosomes of African domestic cattle]Standardised tests in mice and cattle for the detection of drug resistance in tsetse-transmitted trypanosomes of African domestic cattle
Coleman, P.G.Rowlands, G.J.McDermott, John J.Leak, S.G.A.Mulatu, MeronNagda, S.M.D'Ieteren, G.D.M.[Modeling changes in trypanosomiasis transmission following 'pour-on' application]Modeling changes in trypanosomiasis transmission following 'pour-on' application

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...


Kitala, P.M.Coleman, P.G.McDermott, John J.[Modelling the potential importance of wildlife for rabies persistence in Machakos District, Kenya]Modelling the potential importance of wildlife for rabies persistence in Machakos District, Kenya

Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis affects cattle production over approximately 10 million km2 of Africa. In these areas, trypanocidal drugs, both prophylactic and curative, are the most widely used methods of trypanosomosis control. However, resistance of trypanosomes to the 3 trypanocidal drugs ...
