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 ... -
Dog ownership practices and responsibilities for children's health in terms of rabies control and prevention in rural communities in Tanzania.
(PLOS ONE, 2021-03-01)Interventions tackling zoonoses require an understanding of healthcare patterns related to both human and animal hosts. The control of dog-mediated rabies is a good example. Despite the availability of effective control ... -
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. ... -
How public health crises expose systemic, day-to-day health inequalities in low- and-middle income countries: an example from East Africa
(Springer Nature, 2022-02-14)Background: The current Coronavirus disease pandemic reveals political and structural inequities of the world’s poorest people who have little or no access to health care and yet the largest burdens of poor health. This ... -
Integrating contact tracing and whole- genome sequencing to track the elimination of dog-mediated rabies: An observational and genomic study
(eLife Sciences Publications Ltd, 2023-05-25)Background: Dog-mediated rabies is endemic across Africa causing thousands of human deaths annually. A One Health approach to rabies is advocated, comprising emergency post-exposure vaccination of bite victims and mass ... -

Livestock movement informs the risk of disease spread in traditional production systems in East Africa
(Springer Nature Limited, 2021-08-12)In Africa, livestock are important to local and national economies, but their productivity is constrained by infectious diseases. Comprehensive information on livestock movements and contacts is required to devise appropriate ... -
Local and wide-scale livestock movement networks inform disease control strategies in East Africa
(Springer Nature Limited, 2023-06-14)Livestock mobility exacerbates infectious disease risks across sub-Saharan Africa, but enables critical access to grazing and water resources, and trade. Identifying locations of high livestock traffic offers opportunities ... -
Participatory mapping identifies risk areas and environmental predictors of endemic anthrax in rural Africa
(Springer Nature Limited, 2022-06-12)Disease mapping reveals geographical variability in incidence, which can help to prioritise control efforts. However, in areas where this is most needed, resources to generate the required data are often lacking. ... -
Spatial and temporal risk as drivers for adoption of foot and mouth disease vaccination.
(Elsevier Ltd., 2018-08-09)Identifying the drivers of vaccine adoption decisions under varying levels of perceived disease risk and benefit provides insight into what can limit or enhance vaccination uptake. To address the relationship of perceived ...
