  • An atlas of tsetse and animal African trypanosomiasis in Zimbabwe 
    Shereni, William; Neves, L.C.B.G.D. (Luís); Argilés, Rafael; Nyakupinda, Learnmore; Cecchi, Giuliano (BMC, 2021-01)
    BACKGROUND: In the 1980s and 1990s, great strides were taken towards the elimination of tsetse and animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT) in Zimbabwe. However, advances in recent years have been limited. Previously freed ...
  • Climate changes and suitability for the ticks Amblyomma hebraeum and Amblyomma variegatum (Ixodidae) in Zimbabwe (1974–1999) 
    Estrada-Pena, Agustín; Horak, Ivan Gerard; Petney, Trevor N. (Elsevier, 2008-02)
    The spread of Amblyomma hebraeum has been reported in Zimbabwe. At the same time there was little or no spread in the distribution of Amblyomma variegatum. This paper examines the climatic cycles and their trends in the ...
  • Foot-and-mouth disease and market access : challenges for the beef industry in southern Africa 
    Scoones, Ian; Bishi, Alec; Mapitse, Neo; Moerane, Rebone; Penrith, Mary-Louise; Sibanda, Ronny; Thomson, G.R. (Gavin); Wolmer, William (Practical Action, 2010-07)
    Focusing on the case of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in southern Africa – and specifi cally Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe – this paper explores the economic, social and political trade-offs arising from ...
  • Genome sequences of Brucella abortus and Brucella suis strains isolated from bovine in Zimbabwe 
    Ledwaba, Betty; Mafofo, Joseph; Van Heerden, Henriette (American Society for Microbiology, 2014-09)
    This is a report of whole-genome sequences of a Brucella abortus strain and two Brucella suis strains isolated from bovine in Zimbabwe. These strains were selected based on their origin and data obtained when using multiplex ...
  • Genotyping acaricide resistance profiles of Rhipicephalus microplus tick populations from communal land areas of Zimbabwe 
    Sungirai, Marvelous; Baron, Samantha; Moyo, Doreen Zandile; De Clercq, Patrick; Maritz-Olivier, Christine; Madder, Maxime (Elsevier, 2018-01)
    Acaricide resistance is one of the greatest threats towards the successful control of vector ticks worldwide. Communal farmers of Zimbabwe use amitraz as the most common acaricide with occasional usage of pyrethroids and ...
  • Modelling the distribution of Rhipicephalus microplus and R. decoloratus in Zimbabwe 
    Sungirai, M.; Moyo, D.Z.; De Clercq, Patrick; Madder, Maxime; Vanwambeke, Sophie O.; De Clercq, Eva M. (Elsevier, 2018-12)
    Species distribution modelling is a very useful tool in vector management. Ticks are vectors of various pathogens which cause serious problems in livestock production in tropical countries. They have a high dispersal ...
  • Molecular characterization Brucella species from Zimbabwe 
    Ledwaba, Maphuti Betty; Gomo, Calvin; Lekota, Kgaugelo Edward; Le Flèche, Philippe; Hassim, Ayesha; Vergnaud, Gilles; Van Heerden, Henriette (Public Library of Science, 2019-05-20)
    Brucella abortus and B. melitensis have been reported in several studies in animals in Zimbabwe but the extent of the disease remains poorly known. Thus, characterizing the circulating strains is a critical first step in ...
  • Shifts in the distribution of ixodid ticks parasitizing cattle in Zimbabwe 
    Sungirai, Marvelous; Abatih, Emmanuel Nji; Moyo, Doreen Zandile; De Clercq, Patrick; Madder, Maxime (Wiley, 2017-03)
    In an attempt to update information on the ecological distribution of ixodid ticks (Ixodida: Ixodidae) in Zimbabwe, a cross sectional survey was carried out between September 2013 and May 2015 at 322 dip tanks. A total ...
  • An update on the ecological distribution of the Ixodidae ticks in Zimbabwe 
    Sungirai, Marvelous; Madder, Maxime; Moyo, Doreen Zandile; De Clercq, Patrick; Abatih, Emmanuel Nji (Springer, 2015-06)
    In total 7 567 were collected from 121 dip tanks in 12 districts representative of Zimbabwe’s five ecological regions between September 2013 and May 2014. Based on morphological traits four genera and 13 species of ticks ...
