Five different East Coast fever (ECF)-control strategies (involving ECF immunisation by the infection-and-treatment method) were tested in groups of traditionally managed Sanga cattle in the Central Province of Zambia over a period of 2.5 years. Two groups were under intensive tick control (weekl...

Financial analysis of East Coast Fever control strategies in traditionally managed Sanga cattle in Central Province of Zambia
A clinical trial, comparing East Coast fever (ECF) control strategies in 5 different groups of traditionally managed Sanga cattle (44-49 animals per herd), was conducted in Zambia over 2.5 years between 1992 and 1995. Two groups were kept under intensive tick control by weekly cypermethrin (Barri...

Effect of different East Coast Fever control strategies on disease incidence in traditionally managed Sanga cattle in Central Province of Zambia
The authors highlight the reliance on repeated natural infections by tickborne pathogens to maintain immunity in immunized herds. That incidence of clinical heartwater in cattle, caused by Cowdria ruminantium, is low while intensive acaricide use interrupts transmission of pathogens. Evidence is ...

The economics of integrated tick and tick-borne disease control on commercial farms in Zimbabwe
An outbreak of the viral zoonotic disease Rift Valley fever in East Africa in
2006/07 left more than 300 people dead and caused economic losses in Kenya
alone estimated to exceed USD 30 million. Participatory studies undertaken
shortly after the outbreaks abated enabled valuable lessons to be lea...

Economic impact assessment of heartwater in Southern Africa
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...
