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...

The general role of veterinary epidemiology and economics to national animal-disease control throughout the world is considered for the four main groupings of animal diseases: zoonotic, food-borne, endemic and epidemic diseases. This is done by considering how veterinary epidemiology and economic...

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...

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 ...

Animal diseases have a major impact on crop-livestock systems in West Africa. The productivity of all crop-livestock systems is limited both by the direct effects of overt disease and by strategies that are adopted to mitigate disease risk. Epidemic diseases require substantial expenditures to li...

Foodborne diseases (FBD) and associated food safety concerns and associated impose health and economic burdens and indirectly affect the development and flourishment of domestic and export food sectors in Africa. Because these impacts are large, they will compromise the attaining of the Sustainab...
