Methods: The study covered the districts of Buhigwe, Kalambo, Kilindi, Kinondoni, Kondoa, Kyela, Mvomero, and Ukerewe in Tanzania. Blood samples were collected…

Authors: Edson Kinimi, Serge Muyldermans, Cécile Vincke, Steven Odongo, Richard Kock, Satya Parida, Mana Mahapatra and Gerald Misinzo Abstract Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) causes a highly devastating disease, peste des petits ruminants (PPR) of sheep and goats, that threatens food security, small ruminant production, and the conservation of wild small ruminants in many developing countries, especially in Africa. Robust serological and…

Quantifiable GLs were identified using ultra-high performance-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry.…

Authors: Jean N. Hakizimana, Lionel Nyabongo, Jean B. Ntirandekura, Clara Yona, Désiré Ntakirutimana, Olivier Kamana, Hans Nauwynck and Gerald Misinzo Abstract African swine fever (ASF) is a contagious viral disease that causes high mortality, approaching 100%, in domestic pigs and wild boars. The disease has neither a cure nor a vaccine, and it is caused by an ASF virus (ASFV), the only member of…

Authors: CC. Kivumbi, C.Yona, J.N. Hakizimana, G.Misinzo Abstract African swine fever (ASF) is a contagious viral transboundary animal disease affecting domestic pigs caused by ASF virus (ASFV). This study was conducted in order to determine the genetic characteristics, risk factors and socio-economic impact of an ASF outbreak in 2019 in Ngara, western Tanzania. Tissue samples from dead domestic pigs with clinical…

Chulu, Désiré Ntakirutimana, Olivier Kamana, Hans Nauwynck & Gerald Misinzo    Abstract Several African swine fever (ASF) outbreaks in domestic pigs have been reported in Burundi and Malawi and whole-genome sequences of circulating outbreak viruses in these countries are limited. In the present study, complete genome sequences of ASF…

Authors: Susan F. Rumisha, Janeth George, Veneranda M. Bwana, Leonard E. G. Mboera  Abstract Background Mortality statistics are traditionally used to quantify the burden of disease and to determine the relative importance of the various causes of death. Some of the most frequently used indices to quantify the burden of disease are the years of potential life lost (YPLL)…

Erick Komba, Misago Dimson Seth,Richard Kock and Bryony Anne Jones Abstract Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an important transboundary animal disease of domestic small ruminants, camels, and wild artiodactyls. The disease has significant socio-economic impact on communities that depend on livestock for their livelihood and is a threat to endangered susceptible wild species. The aim of…

Authors: Zuhura I. Kimera, Fauster X. Mgaya, Gerald Misinzo, Stephen E. Mshana, Nyambura Moremi, Mecky I. N. Matee   Abstract We determined the phenotypic profile of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli isolated from 698 samples (390 and 308 from poultry and domestic pigs, respectively). In total, 562 Enterobacteria were isolated. About 80.5% of the isolates were E. coli. Occurrence of E. coli was significantly…
