The epidemiology of tick-borne haemoparasites as determined by the reverse line blot hybridization assay in an intensively studied cohort of calves in western Kenya
In the tropics, staples such as maize are often contaminated with mycotoxins, harmful
by-products of fungal metabolism. In particular, high exposure to aflatoxins may cause
fatal illness in people and animals, while chronic exposure can cause liver cancer in
humans and, in domestic animals, growt...

Evaluation of new generation macrolides for the treatment and metaphylaxis of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) in cattle experimentally infected with Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies mycoides
This paper is the first attempt to accurately describe the hematological parameters for any African breed of cattle, by capturing the changes in these parameters over the first 12 months of an animal’s life using a population based sample of calves reared under field conditions and natural diseas...
