The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) conducts research on strategic issues that constrain livestock productivity of resource-poor households, with a focus as smallholder crop-livestock systems. The institute conducts research in the areas of ruminant genetics, ruminant health, fe...

Ex ante impact assessment of disease control technologies: The case of vector-borne infections in Africa
Heartwater, a disease of ruminants caused by the rickettsia Cowdria ruminantium and transmitted by ticks of the genus Amblyomma, is a significant cause of productivity losses in cattle, sheep and goats in most of sub-Saharan Africa. In southern Africa, the vector of C. ruminantium is A. hebraeum....

A study of the effects of heartwater and its control on livestock productivity and economics in Zimbabwe
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...
