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...

An economic assessment of current delivery pathways for the control of tick-borne diseases in Kenya
Ticks and tickborne diseases (TTBD) are serious animal health constraints in Uganda and acaricides are the current method of choice for their control. Although widely used, the external-input, single-technology paradigm of chemical control is unsustainable and may inhibit endemic stability. TTB...
