Heartwater, caused by the rickettsial organism Cowdria ruminantium, is a serious constraint to livestock development in much of sub-Saharan Africa. Traditionally, the disease has been controlled by the use of chemical acaricides to control the vector tick. The University of Florida/USAID-supporte...
Five different East Coast fever (ECF)-control strategies (involving ECF immunisation by the infection-and-treatment method) were tested in groups of traditionally managed Sanga cattle in the Central Province of Zambia over a period of 2.5 years. Two groups were under intensive tick control (weekl...
The authors evaluate the impact of foot and mouth disease (FMD) and control of the disease in the Philippines using cost-benefit analysis. A scenario in which FMD control is maintained at recent levels with continued presence of the disease is compared to scenarios in which a publicly funded prog...
Fine mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with resistance to the gastrointestinal parasite Heligmosomoides polygyrus was achieved on F6/F7 offspring (1076 mice) from resistant (SWR) and susceptible (CBA) mouse strains by selective genotyping (top and bottom 20% selected on total wo...
The prevalence and incidences of tick-borne diseases (TBDs) infections in cattle were studied in the western-Kenya highlands. Serological tests, thick-blood and lymph-node smears were used to quantify TBDs during cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Four hundred and eight and 192 (wet season...
A clinical trial, comparing East Coast fever (ECF) control strategies in 5 different groups of traditionally managed Sanga cattle (44-49 animals per herd), was conducted in Zambia over 2.5 years between 1992 and 1995. Two groups were kept under intensive tick control by weekly cypermethrin (Barri...
A pilot study of the economic impact of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in the countries and region of South-East Asia is described. Previous economic impact assessments are reviewed and summarised and a synthesis of these contributions is constructed. A framework for the future economic impact of t...
The authors assess the economic imapct of the Pan-African Rinderpest Campaign (PARC). The PARC programme commenced in 1986 with the objective to control and ultimately eradicate rinderpest from Africa. From among the thirty-five countries that participated in PARC, ten countries were selected for...
Discusses trypanotolerance in cattle and prospects for the control of trypanosomiasis by selective breeding in Africa. Looks into methods available for control including tsetse control, drugs & vaccination and discusses constraints that limit the control. Also discusses prospects for future contr...
