Theileria parva, a protozoan parasite of cattle, contains an extrachromosomal DNA molecule with an apparent mobility of 7.1 kb in agarose gels. 5893 bp of this DNA molecule have been fully sequenced and analysed. The sequence shows that it has the potential to code for apocytochrome b and polypep...

The livestock sector plays crucial multifunctional roles in the rural livelihoods and economies of many sub-Saharan African countries; yet productivity remains relatively low in the region. Breed improvement programs that utilize advanced animal breeding technologies provide key entry points for ...

Trypanosomosis is one of the major diseases hindering livestock production in Africa. Many studies have been carried out on the prevalence of the disease in cattle but very little has been done in small ruminants. A Cross sectional epidemiological survey of Caprine trypanosomosis was conducted fr...

Leptospirosis is a neglected zoonotic disease that disproportionately affects poor populations in the world. Prevalence data in human populations in pastoral communities has been shown to be high. The disease is therefore contributing to an unknown toll on livestock productivity as well as human ...
Consumption of fallen stock could be an important route for zoonotic infections to enter human populations. Qualitative and Quantitative risk assessments were performed in order to determine the risk to human health via consumption of fallen stock and identify potential methods for mitigating ris...
