Influence of Land Cover and Host Species on Trypanosome Infection in Cattle and its Socio-Economic Impacts to Pastoralists of the Maasai Steppe, Tanzania
(Journal of Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology, 2020-01-27)
Introduction
Trypanosome infections result into trypanosomosis in cattle and this is an infection detrimental to pastoralist income. The patterns of transmission are thought to be influenced by ecological factors including ...
Factors associated with infectious bursal disease vaccination failure in Dar es salaam, Tanzania
(Journal of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Health, 2020-09)
Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is a viral infection that affects young chicks. The IBD outbreaks in
vaccinated chickens are reported in Tanzania frequently. The current study was conducted to find out
