Analysis of trait-based variation in bovine exposure to viral respiratory tract infections at the wildlife-livestock interface in the Mnisi communal farming area of South Africa

Manyetu, Kramer (University of Pretoria, 2016)

Animal diseases have always been one of the main constraints on animal production, especially in Africa where there are a variety of tropical and subtropical diseases. Knowledge of these diseases and the development of ...
Carnivore population dynamics on two reserves, comparable or not?

Wentzel, Jeanette Maria; Camacho, Gerrie C.; Bourn, M.; University of Pretoria. Faculty of Veterinary Science. Dept. of Production Animal Studies; Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency; Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency. Manyeleti Nature Reserve; University of Pretoria. Faculty of Veterinary Science. Hans Hoheisen Research Station (Pretoria : University of Pretoria, Faculty of Veterinary Science, 2017-09-07)

Small carnivore species might provide the disease link in disease transmission between domestic dogs and apex predators. The objective of this study was to determine the presence of carnivores and prey species on two ...
Development of a population dynamics model to investigate the displacement of Rhipicephalus decoloratus by Rhipicephalus microplus

Kotzé, Johannes L. (University of Pretoria, 2022)

Rhipicephalus microplus is displacing Rhipicephalus decoloratus at an alarming rate. Besides being invasive, R. microplus is the only tick that can act as a vector for the substantially more virulent form of Babesiosis ...
The effect of blood urea nitrogen on reproductive performance of beef heifers on different levels of nitrogen supplementation

Tshuma, Takula (University of Pretoria, 2013)

Ruminants have a unique ability to acquire protein from non-protein nitrogen (NPN) sources, and to recycle nitrogen back into the rumen, instead of excreting all of it via the urine, faeces and milk. However, a high ...
Evaluation of the solid-phase competition ELISA for detecting SAT foot-and-mouth disease virus vaccination and infection in goats

Gobiye, Moses (University of Pretoria, 2021-05)

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious and widely distributed disease affecting cloven-hoofed animals. The exact role played by goats in the epidemiology of the Southern African Territories (SAT) serotypes is ...
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccination and control in cattle at the wildlife/livestock interface of the Mnisi communal area

Lazarus, David Dazhia (University of Pretoria, 2014)

Foot-and-mouth Diseases (FMD) is an important livestock disease with economic implications on trade. In southern Africa, the epidemiology of FMD is complicated as a result of the role of African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) ...
Knowledge, practices, and epidemiology of bovine fasciolosis in smallholder farming areas of South Africa

Olaogun, Sunday Charles (University of Pretoria, 2022)

Bovine fasciolosis (infection with Fasciola species) causes morbidity and mortality in cattle and has zoonotic implications and deleterious economic effects, especially on smallholder cattle farmers. The smallholder ...
Sensitivity and specificity of rRT-PCR, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry for the detection of rift valley fever virus in naturally-infected cattle and sheep

Odendaal, Lieza (University of Pretoria, 2014)

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic disease caused by a virus of the family Bunyaviridae, genus Phlebovirus. It is responsible for extensive outbreaks of disease in livestock in Africa with significant ...
The sensitivity and specificity of three pregnancy-associated glycoprotein ELISA assays and factors affecting test accuracy in South African dairy cows

Motimele, Boitumelo (University of Pretoria, 2016)

The ruminant trophoblast produces pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (BPAGs) starting at day 25 after conception and continuing until parturition. These glycoproteins are detectable in the blood and milk of pregnant females ...
Shotgun genome sequence and population diversity of Mannheimia haemolytica isolates from sheep in South Africa

Gelaw, Awoke K.; Cutler, Sally J.; Guthrie, Alan John; University of Pretoria. Faculty of Veterinary Science. Dept. of Production Animal Studies; University of East London, UK; University of Pretoria. Faculty of Veterinary Science. Equine Research Centre; Agricultural Research Council. Onderstepoort Veterinary Research (Pretoria : University of Pretoria, Faculty of Veterinary Science, 2017-09-07)

Respiratory disease caused by Mannheimia haemolytica is a major economic and welfare concern in the cattle and small stock industry worldwide. Disease occurs due to the interaction of numerous factors, including weaning ...
Spatial sero-survey of respiratory tract viral infections in cattle at the wildlife-livestock interface in the Mnisi communal farming area of South Africa

Athingo, Rauna Ndinelao (University of Pretoria, 2018)

Animal diseases impact on livestock production and threaten food security through loss of animal protein. Additionally, disease impacts may cause major production losses by adding to the cost of livestock production through ...
