A pilot study of the economic impact of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in the countries and region of South-East Asia is described. Previous economic impact assessments are reviewed and summarised and a synthesis of these contributions is constructed. A framework for the future economic impact of t...

Brucellosis is an important disease among livestock and people in sub-Saharan Africa. In general, the incidence is the highest in pastoral production systems and decreases as herd size and size of landholding decreases. The prevalence of risk factors for infections are best understood for bovine ...

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...

De Castro has reviewed the methods applied for the control of ticks and tick-borne diseases (TTBDs). Similarly, Holmes & Ton reviewed the control methods for tsetse flies and trypanosomosis. Although many areas of Kenya, including the Coastal lowlands region, are endemic for TBDs and trypanosomos...

Heartwater is a tick-borne disease of cattle, sheep and goats and some wild ruminants prevalent in much of Africa and the Caribbean. It is caused by the rickettsial organism Cowdria ruminantium and transmitted by ticks of the genus Amblyomma. The disease has traditionally been controlled by the u...

Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis is regarded as the most debilitating livestock disease in sub-Saharan Africa, responsible for annual economic losses of over US$1.3 billion. To date, however, all economic impact assessments of trypanosomosis have excluded the public health burden of the disease....
