Mathematical model for the infectiology of brucellosis with some control strategies
(BISKA Bilisim Technology, 2019-12-25)
Brucellosis is a neglected zoonotic infection caused by gram-negative bacteria of genus brucella. In this paper, a
deterministic mathematical model for the infectiology of brucellosis with vaccination of ruminants, culling ...
Mathematical model for brucellosis transmission dynamics in livestock and human populations
(Communications in Mathematical Biology and Neuroscience, 2020-01-29)
Brucellosis is a contagious zoonotic infection caused by bacteria of genus brucella which affects humans and animals. The disease is of veterinary importance, public health concern and economic significance in
both developed ...
Mycobacterium bovis in rural Tanzania: Risk factors for infection in human and cattle populations
(Elsevier Ltd., 2007-01)
Although bovine tuberculosis is widespread throughout Africa, very little is known about risk factors for Mycobacterium bovis infection in either human or cattle populations. A human case–control study was conducted in ...
Spatial and temporal distribution of foot-and-mouth disease in four districts situated along the Uganda-Tanzania border: Implications for cross-border efforts in disease control.
(AOSIS, 2018-08-27)
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is one of the major trans-boundary animal diseases in East Africa causing economic loss to farmers and other stakeholders in the livestock industry. Foot-and-mouth disease occurs widely in both ...
Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) on Hantavirus Infections at Community Level in Mbeya Region, Tanzania
(Longdom Publishing., 2018-10-26)
Background: Hantaviruses are zoonotic RNA viral pathogens of public health concern in Tanzania and
worldwide. These viruses circulate in both human and reservoir host in Tanzania, however, there is a gap in the
assessment ...
Prevalence and speciation of brucellosis in febrile patients from a pastoralist community of Tanzania.
(Springer Nature Limited, 2020-04-27)
Brucellosis is an endemic zoonosis in sub-Saharan Africa. Pastoralists are at high risk of infection but data on brucellosis from these communities are scarce. The study objectives were to: estimate the prevalence of human ...
Integrating serological and genetic data to quantify cross-species transmission: brucellosis as a case study
(Cambridge University Press, 2016-03-03)
Epidemiological data are often fragmented, partial, and/or ambiguous and unable to yield the desired level of understanding
of infectious disease dynamics to adequately inform control measures. Here, we show how the ...
Detection of Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia and Concurrent Diseases in Outbreaks Presenting with Respiratory Signs in Small Ruminants in Tanzania
(International Journal of TROPICAL DISEASE & Health, 2020-07-06)
Aims: To establish the prevalence and concurrent diseases in outbreaks presenting with respiratory signs, major associated clinical signs and postmortem lesions and proportions of those diseases in clinically and autopsied ...
Why isn’t everyone using the thermotolerant vaccine? Preferences for Newcastle disease vaccines by chicken-owning households in Tanzania
(PLOS ONE, 2019-08-15)
Understanding preferences for veterinary vaccines in low and middle-income countries is
important for increasing vaccination coverage against infectious diseases, especially when
the consumer is responsible for choosing ...
Outbreak investigation and control case report of brucellosis: experience from livestock research centre, Mpwapwa, Tanzania.
(AOSIS, 2014-11-25)
Brucellosis screening was conducted between 2005 and 2010 at the National Livestock Research Institute headquarters, Mpwapwa, Tanzania, following an abortion storm in cattle. The initial screening targeted breeding herds; ...
