A whole farm simulation model, Technology Impact Evaluation System (TIES), was used to assess ex-ante financial and economic impacts of immunization of dairy cattle against East Coast fever (ECF) by the infection and treatment method (ITM) on smallholder farms from two sites in Kenya. Four altern...

Parasitic diseases of animals place a large constraint on livestock production worldwide. The parasite Theileria parva, and the disease East Coast fever it produces, are responsible for the deaths of thousands of cattle each year in central and eastern Africa. Disease control is one way in which ...

East Coast fever (ECF) caused by Theileria parva kills cattle in East, Central and Southern Africa leading to significant economic losses. Vaccination is used as a control strategy against ECF and is presently dependent on deliberate infection with live sporozoites and simultaneous treatment with...

Considerable economic losses in the eastern, central and southern Africa region are caused by East Coast fever. The disease is conventionally controlled by acaricides and chemotherapy, however, these methods of control have become less reliable, acceptable and sustainable for a variety of reasons...

Concern about the introduction of the T. parva strain unknown in Zanzibar by using the Muguga cocktail for immunisation against East Coast fever led the government to request ILRAD to develop a vaccine stabilate using T. parva strains found in Unguja and Pemba. Tests by researchers finally come u...
