In a world of ever-increasing competition for resources, human, economic and environmental, it is now more important than ever before that a thorough understanding is acquired of the effect of large-scale interventions to relieve constraints to livestock production, such as disease control progra...
A review is presented on disease development in bean var. mixtures and in pure stands, the effect on diseases of adding resistance components to susceptible mixtures, and the potential on nongenetic methods to control diseases in mixtures. Four mechanisms seem to reduce disease incidence in var. ...
Heartwater is a severe tick-borne, non-contagious disease of ruminant livestock caused by the rickettsia Cowdria ruminantium, which is endemic in much of sub-Saharan Africa and in the Caribbean. Transmission occurs via ticks of the Amblyomma genus, primarily A. variegatum and A. hebraeum. Intense...

A framework for the impact assessment of disease control strategies for Newcastle disease (ND) is discussed. This includes linking epidemiological and economic data to predict the relative impact of different control interventions at different levels from farm to region. Epidemiological transmis...

Purpose: The battle against rabies, a fatal zoonotic disease, is still ongoing on the island of Bali, Indonesia. Several rounds of mass vaccination have been conducted to control the disease in dogs. Characterizing the dog population is important for effective control measures. The objective of t...
