Pig production is an emerging agribusiness in Eastern Africa but baseline information
on pig diseases including zoonoses is still scarce. Infection with Toxoplasma gondii
does not usually present with clinical signs in pigs, yet it is considered an important
source of human infection when pork co...

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a zoonotic ubiquitous gram-positive bacterium, which
causes erysipelas in swine, mammals, birds and erysipeloid in humans. People in
contact with animals, animal products or animal wastes are at greatest risk.
From June 2013 to December 2015, a multidisciplinary ri...
