Contaminated milk is responsible for up to 90% of all dairy-related diseases of humans. A cross sectional study was
carried out in Lushoto and Handeni districts of Tanga region to determine handling practices, bacterial contaminations
and selected milk-borne zoonotic pathogens along the dairy val...

Introduction: Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonosis primarily affecting ruminants, resulting in epidemic abortions, fever, nasal and ocular discharges, haemorrhagic diarrhoea, and a high mortality rate among young animals. Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is an arthropod-borne RNA virus occurring i...

BACKGROUND
Despite the fact that foods of animal source are a minor constituent in most diets, they are responsible for incidents of food-borne illness; dairy products being implicated. Up to 90% of all dairy – related diseases are due to pathogenic bacteria found in milk. Emergence of new milk-...

Introduction
Yellow fever continues to be a problem in sub-Saharan Africa with repeated epidemics occurring. The mosquito Aedes bromeliae is a major vector of yellow fever, but it cannot be readily differentiated from its non-vector zoophilic sister species Ae. lilii using morphological character...

Increasing globalization has promoted the spread of exotic species, including disease vectors. Understanding the evolutionary processes involved in such colonizations is both of intrinsic biological interest and important to predict and mitigate future disease risks. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is...
