A postal questionnaire asking for data concerning heartwater deaths was sent to all large-scale commercial farmers in Zimbabwe's lowveld, where heartwater is endemic. One hundred and fifty returns (24 percent return rate) provided usable data, with 85 farms (57 percent of sample) reporting heartw...

There is a general lack of data on the different patterns of dynamics and impact of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in South-East Asia and the impact the disease has on different sectors, in particular the smallholder sector in which livestock play such an important role. A pilot study was conducted...

This presentation starts with a discussion on the need of this study and outlines its framework. It then assesses in detail how to attack poverty, and tries to answer the question where do livestock and their diseases fit in? Then it presents the study design and how it is achieved. It then prese...
