Serum samples collected from 1507 sheep and 1197 goats at Addis Ababa abattoir, Debre Berhan and Abomessa were tested for brucellosis using the Rose Bengal test. The overall prevalence rateswere 1.5 and 1.3 percent in sheep and goats respectively. Vaccinationwith strain Re1 is suggested as the po...
Assesses the levels of prevalence of blood parasites among village goats over 12 months in 4 groups of villages in Southwest Nigeria, w. particular emphasis on the very high infection rate from Trypanosoma vivax and Babesia motasi.

Slaughter data from 1547 male indigenous marketable goats (406 Afar, 389 Long eared Somali, 412 Arsi-Bale and 340 Woyto-Guji), were analyzed to compare carcass and edible-offal component yields. Dressing percentage (DP) was determined based on slaughter weight (SH). Percentage total edible offal ...

The indirect MAP 1B ELISA based on the recombinant MAP 1B fragment of the immunodominant MAP 1 protein of Ehrlichia ruminantium is considered to be the most sensitive and specific assay for the serodiagnosis of heartwater. In this study, we evaluated its reliability in detecting exposure to E....
The prevalence of ticks in cattle, sheep and goats in three group ranches in the arid area of Kajiado District in Kenya was studied. Four differet genera were identified from a total of 2,546 ticks collected. Of all the ticks collected, Rhipicephalus constituted 80.45 percent, Amblyomma 16.3 perc...
