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 ...
Comparative analysis of clinical breakpoints, normalized resistance interpretation and epidemiological cut-offs in interpreting antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli isolates originating from poultry in different farm types in Tanzania
(Microbiology Society, 2014-07-14)
Introduction. Existing breakpoint guidelines are not optimal for interpreting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data from animal
studies and low-income countries, and therefore their utility for analysing such data is limited. ...
Kiwira Virus, a Newfound Hantavirus Discovered in Free-Tailed Bats (Molossidae) in East and Central Africa
(MDPI, 2022-10-27)
A novel hantavirus, named Kiwira virus, was molecularly detected in six Angolan free-
tailed bats (Mops condylurus, family Molossidae) captured in Tanzania and in one free-tailed bat in the
Democratic Republic of Congo. ...
Taenia multiceps in Northern Tanzania: An Important but Preventable Disease Problem in Pastoral and Agropastoral Farming Systems
(MDPI, 2022-08-26)
Coenurosis due to Taenia multiceps has emerged as a major concern to small ruminant-owning communities in northern Tanzania. Although a high incidence of disease has been reported, gaps still remain in our knowledge of the ...
Latent class evaluation of the performance of serological tests for exposure to Brucella spp. in cattle, sheep, and goats in Tanzania
(PLOS Medicine, 2021-08-24)
Brucellosis is a neglected zoonosis endemic in many countries, including regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Evaluated diagnostic tools for the detection of exposure to Brucella spp. are important for disease surveillance and ...
Conjugative Plasmids Disseminating CTX-M-15 among Human, Animals and the Environment in Mwanza Tanzania: A Need to Intensify One Health Approach
(MDPI, 2021-07-09)
Background: Globally, blaCTX-M-15 beta-lactamases are the most popular extended spectrum beta-lactamase alleles that are widely distributed due its mobilisation by mobile genetic elements in several compartments. We aimed ...
Antimicrobial resistant coliforms across four poultry production systems in Arusha and Moshi, Tanzania
(Pan African Medical Journal, 2022-01-11)
Introduction: resistance to antimicrobials poses a
threat to human and animal health. This study
aimed to determine the prevalence of resistant
coliforms in poultry cloacal samples collected from
different poultry ...
Combining Multiple Assays Improves Detection and Serotyping of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus. A Practical Example with Field Samples from East Africa
(MDPI, 2021-08-10)
Multiple serotypes and topotypes of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) circulate in endemic areas, posing considerable impacts locally. In addition, introductions into new areas are of great concern. Indeed, in recent ...
Performance characteristics and costs of serological tests for brucellosis in a pastoralist community of northern Tanzania
(Springer Nature Limited, 2021-03-09)
The control of brucellosis across sub-Saharan Africa is hampered by the lack of standardized testing and the use of tests with poor performance. This study evaluated the performance and costs of serological assays for human ...
Enhancing livestock vaccination decision-making through rapid diagnostic testing
(Elsevier Ltd., 2019-12)
• Compared to vaccination, the collective approach to diagnostic testing presents a low-fixed cost.
• Existing household livestock-health behaviors increase the likelihood for uptake of preventative health practices.
