  • Bluetongue and epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus in local breeds of cattle in Kenya 
    Toye, Philip G.; Batten, C.A.; Kiara, Henry; Henstock, M.R.; Edwards, L.; Thumbi, Samuel Mwangi; Poole, Elizabeth Jane; Handel, Ian Graham; Bronsvoort, Barend Mark de Clare; Hanotte, Olivier; Coetzer, Jacobus A.W.; Woolhouse, Mark E.J.; Oura, C.A.L. (Elsevier, 2013-03)
    The presence of bluetongue virus (BTV) and Epizootic Haemorrhagic Disease virus (EHDV) in indigenous calves in western Kenya was investigated. Serum was analysed for BTV and EHDV antibodies. The population seroprevalences ...
  • Design and descriptive epidemiology of the Infectious Diseases of East African Livestock (IDEAL) project, a longitudinal calf cohort study in western Kenya 
    Bronsvoort, Barend Mark de Clare; Thumbi, Samuel Mwangi; Poole, Elizabeth Jane; Kiara, Henry; Auguet, Olga Tosas; Handel, Ian Graham; Jennings, Amy; Conradie, Ilana; Mbole-Kariuki, Mary Ndila; Toye, Philip G.; Hanotte, Olivier; Coertzer, Jacobus A.W.; Woolhouse, Mark E.J. (BioMed Central, 2013-08-30)
    BACKGROUND: There is a widely recognised lack of baseline epidemiological data on the dynamics and impacts of infectious cattle diseases in east Africa. The Infectious Diseases of East African Livestock (IDEAL) project ...
  • History of ‘swine fever’ in Southern Africa 
    Penrith, Mary-Louise (OpenJournals Publishing, 2013-11-29)
    The histories of the two swine fevers in southern Africa differ widely. Classical swine fever (hog cholera) has been known in the northern hemisphere since 1830 and it is probable that early cases of ‘swine fever’ in ...
  • Ixodid ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) collected from African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) and African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) 
    Kariuki, Edward; Kutima, Hellen; Kock, Michael; Horak, Ivan Gerard; Jooste, Roaland; Neves, L.C.B.G.D. (Luís) (AOSIS Open Journals, 2019-11)
    Eight ixodid tick species were collected from 173 African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Kenya, northern Mozambique and Zimbabwe, and two species were collected from six African forest elephants (Loxodonta ...
  • A live weight–heart girth relationship for accurate dosing of east African shorthorn zebu cattle 
    Lesosky, Maia; Dumas, Sarah; Conradie, Ilana; Handel, Ian Graham; Jennings, Amy; Thumbi, Samuel Mwangi; Toye, Philip G.; Bronsvoort, Barend Mark de Clare (Springer, 2013)
    The accurate estimation of livestock weights is important for many aspects of livestock management including nutrition, production and appropriate dosing of pharmaceuticals. Subtherapeutic dosing has been shown to ...
  • A longitudinal assessment of the serological response to Theileria parva and other tick-borne parasites from birth to one year in a cohort of indigenous calves in western Kenya 
    Kiara, Henry; Jennings, Amy; Bronsvoort, Barend Mark de Clare; Handel, Ian Graham; Mwangi, Samuel Thumbi; Mbole-Kariuki, Mary Ndila; Van Wyk, Conradie; Poole, Elizabeth Jane; Hanotte, Olivier; Coetzer, Jacobus A.W.; Woolhouse, Mark E.J.; Toye, Philip G. (Cambridge University Press, 2014-05)
    Tick-borne diseases are a major impediment to improved productivity of livestock in sub-Saharan Africa. Improved control of these diseases would be assisted by detailed epidemiological data. Herewe used longitudinal, ...
  • Mapping potential amplification and transmission hotspots for MERS-CoV, Kenya 
    Gikonyo, Stephen; Kimani, Tabitha; Matere, Joseph; Kimutai, Joshua; Kiambi, Stella G.; Bitek, Austine O.; Juma Ngeiywa, K.J.Z.; Makonnen, Yilma J.; Tripodi, Astrid; Morzaria, Subhash; Lubroth, Juan; Rugalema, Gabriel; Fasina, Folorunso Oludayo (Springer, 2018-06)
    Dromedary camels have been implicated consistently as the source of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) human infections and attention to prevent and control it has focused on camels. To understanding ...
  • Reflections on IDEAL : what we have learnt from a unique calf cohort study 
    Callaby, R.; Jennings, A.; Mwangi, S.T.; Mbole-Kariuki, M.; Van Wyk, Ilana; Kiara, H.; Coetzer, Jacobus A.W.; Woolhouse, M.E.J.; Hanotte, O.; Toye, P.G.; DeC. Bronsvoort, B.M. (Elsevier, 2020-08)
    The year 2020 marks a decade since the final visit was made in the ‘Infectious Diseases of East African Livestock’ (IDEAL) project. However, data generation from samples obtained during this ambitious longitudinal study ...
  • Variation and covariation in strongyle infection in East African shorthorn zebu calves 
    Callaby, R.; Hanotte, Olivier; Conradie van Wyk, Ilana; Kiara, Henry; Toye, Philip G.; Mbole-Kariuki, Mary Ndila; Jennings, Amy; Thumbi, Samuel Mwangi; Coetzer, Jacobus A.W.; Bronsvoort, Barend Mark de Clare; Knott, S.A.; Woolhouse, Mark E.J.; Kruuk, Loeske E.B. (Cambridge University Press, 2015-03)
    Parasite burden varies widely between individuals within a population, and can covary with multiple aspects of individual phenotype. Here we investigate the sources of variation in faecal strongyle eggs counts, and its ...
