Identification of Bacillus anthracis, Brucella spp., and Coxiella burnetii DNA signatures from bushmeat
(Springer Nature Limited, 2021-07-21)Meat from wildlife species (bushmeat) represents a major source of dietary protein in low- and middle-income countries where humans and wildlife live in close proximity. Despite the occurrence of zoonotic pathogens in ... -
Identifying Age Cohorts Responsible for Peste Des Petits Ruminants Virus Transmission among Sheep, Goats, and Cattle in Northern Tanzania.
(MDPI, 2020-02-07)Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) causes a contagious disease of high morbidity and mortality in global sheep and goat populations. To better control this disease and inform eradication strategies, an improved ... -
iMAP: an integrated bioinformatics and visualization pipeline for microbiome data analysis
(BioMed Central, 2019-07-03)One of the major challenges facing investigators in the microbiome field is turning large numbers of reads generated by next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms into biological knowledge. Effective analytical workflows ... -
iMAP: an integrated bioinformatics and visualization pipeline for microbiome data analysis
(BMC Bioinformatics, 2019)Background: One of the major challenges facing investigators in the microbiome field is turning large numbers of reads generated by next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms into biological knowledge. Effective analytical ... -
Innate Immune Genes Associated With Newcastle Disease Virus Load in Chick Embryos From Inbred and Outbred Lines
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019-06-20)Newcastle disease virus (NDV) causes substantial economic losses to smallholder farmers in low- and middle-income countries with high levels of morbidity and mortality in poultry flocks. Previous investigations have suggested ... -
Microbial Diversity in Bushmeat Samples Recovered from the Serengeti Ecosystem in Tanzania
(Nature Publishing Group UK, 2019-12-02)Bushmeat, the meat and organs derived from wildlife species, is a common source of animal protein in the diets of those living in sub-Saharan Africa and is frequently associated with zoonotic spillover of dangerous pathogens. ... -
Molecular species identification of bushmeat recovered from the Serengeti ecosystem in Tanzania.
(PLOS ONE, 2020-09-14)Bushmeat harvesting and consumption represents a potential risk for the spillover of endemic zoonotic pathogens, yet remains a common practice in many parts of the world. Given that the harvesting and selling of bushmeat ... -
Pastoral production is associated with increased peste des petits ruminants seroprevalence in northern Tanzania across sheep, goats and cattle
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-07-18)Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) causes a contagious disease of high morbidity and mortality in small ruminant populations globally. Using cross-sectional serosurvey data col- lected in 2016, our study investigated ... -
Perception and Risk Factors Associated with Tuberculosis in the Manyara Region, Tanzania2
(MDPI, 2023-10-06)Tuberculosis (TB) results from infection with members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and represents a major global public health concern. We here sought to assess the perceptions of human and animal TB ... -
Peste des petits ruminants Virus Transmission Scaling and Husbandry Practices That Contribute to Increased Transmission Risk: An Investigation among Sheep, Goats, and Cattle in Northern Tanzania
(MDPI, 2020-08-24)Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) causes an infectious disease of high morbidity and mortality among sheep and goats which impacts millions of livestock keepers globally. PPRV transmission risk varies by production ...
