Perry, Brian D.[Integrated epidemiology and economics modelling for the management of animal health]Integrated epidemiology and economics modelling for the management of animal health

Heartwater, caused by the rickettsial organism Cowdria ruminantium, is a serious constraint to livestock development in much of sub-Saharan Africa. Traditionally, the disease has been controlled by the use of chemical acaricides to control the vector tick. The University of Florida/USAID-supporte...


Mukhebi, A.W.Chamboko, TafireyiO'Callaghan, C.J.Peter, T.F.Kruska, R.L.Medley, G.F.Mahan, S.M.Perry, Brian D.[An assessment of the economic impact of heartwater (Cowdria ruminantium infection) and its control in Zimbabwe]An assessment of the economic impact of heartwater (Cowdria ruminantium infection) and its control in Zimbabwe

A pilot study of the economic impact of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in the countries and region of South-East Asia is described. Previous economic impact assessments are reviewed and summarised and a synthesis of these contributions is constructed. A framework for the future economic impact of t...


Perry, Brian D.Kalpravidh, W.Coleman, P.G.Horst, H.S.McDermott, John J.Randolph, Thomas F.Glesson, L.J.[The economic impact of foot and mouth disease and its control in South-East Asia: A preliminary assessment with special reference to Thailand]The economic impact of foot and mouth disease and its control in South-East Asia: A preliminary assessment with special reference to Thailand
Kiara, Henry K.O'Callaghan, C.J.McDermott, John J.Perry, Brian D.[A study of the epidemiologic states of theileriosis in a range of smallholder dairy farms in Kenya]A study of the epidemiologic states of theileriosis in a range of smallholder dairy farms in Kenya

This paper reviews the past contributions of epidemiology and economics to the control of tick-borne infections of cattle in Africa. The factors affecting successful and unsuccessful control are evaluated on a gographical and on a production systems basis, with particular reference to Theileria p...


Perry, Brian D.Young, A.S.[The past and future roles of epidemiology and economics in the control of tick-borne diseases of livestock in Africa: The case of theileriosis]The past and future roles of epidemiology and economics in the control of tick-borne diseases of livestock in Africa: The case of theileriosis

In a world of ever-increasing competition for resources, human, economic and environmental, it is now more important than ever before that a thorough understanding is acquired of the effect of large-scale interventions to relieve constraints to livestock production, such as disease control progra...


Perry, Brian D.[Tick-borne disease control: the role of impact assessment]Tick-borne disease control: the role of impact assessment

Heartwater is a severe tick-borne, non-contagious disease of ruminant livestock caused by the rickettsia Cowdria ruminantium, which is endemic in much of sub-Saharan Africa and in the Caribbean. Transmission occurs via ticks of the Amblyomma genus, primarily A. variegatum and A. hebraeum. Intense...


Peter, T.F.O'Callaghan, C.J.Perry, Brian D.Medley, G.F.Mahan, S.[Application of PCR in heartwater epidemiology]Application of PCR in heartwater epidemiology

The general role of veterinary epidemiology and economics to national animal-disease control throughout the world is considered for the four main groupings of animal diseases: zoonotic, food-borne, endemic and epidemic diseases. This is done by considering how veterinary epidemiology and economic...


Perry, Brian D.McDermott, John J.Randolph, Thomas F.[Can epidemiology and economics make a meaningful contribution to national animal-disease control?]Can epidemiology and economics make a meaningful contribution to national animal-disease control?

This paper outlines four key pillars of epidemiology and economics in national animal disease control; prioritizing in animal disease control; the comparative advantage of Ethiopia in the leather industry; and gives some impressive figures including estimated production of hides and skins, employ...


Perry, Brian D.[The impact and control of diseases and other damages constraining leather value chains]The impact and control of diseases and other damages constraining leather value chains

Animal disease outbreaks pose significant threats to livestock sectors throughout the world, both from the standpoint of the economic impacts of the disease itself and the measures taken to mitigate the risk of disease introduction. These impacts are multidimensional and not always well understoo...
