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...

This paper studies East Coast fever (Theileria parva infection) risk in four district smallholder-farming areas of Kenya representing a range of epidemiological states of the disease. The areas include Kakamega, where indigenous cattle are intensively grazed with minimal tick control under modera...

The identification and tracking of sub-populations through time and space are critical to fully understanding the epidemiology of parasitic diseases. However, very little is known about the structure, distribution and dynamics of trypanosome populations in the field. Most laboratory studies that ...

Bovine trypanosomiasis caused by pathogenic trypanosomes, and cyclically transmitted by tsetse flies, is considered to be a major disease constraint to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa, preventing full use of the land to feed the rapidly increasing human population. Privatisation of vet...

Trypanosomosis is an endemic disease in cattle in Mukono District in south eastern Uganda. A multi-disciplinary project was formulated in order to better understand the infection dynamics, and drug sensitivities, of the trypanosome parasites prevalent in Mukono, and also to assess the economic im...

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...

East Coast Fever (ECF) is a major risk and constraint to the smallholder dairy sector in Kenya. The effects of ECF can be largely controlled by the use of acaricides, animal husbandry measures, and potentially through immunisation. In Kenya, some smallholder dairy farmers apply one or more of the...
