This paper compares community-based and team-based dog vaccination strategies, finding community-based delivery achieves higher and more consistent coverage, exceeding the critical threshold for herd immunity.

This study assesses RVFV seroprevalence and risk factors in cattle in northern Tanzania between 2007 and 2024, identifying age, sex, herd size, water access, and geography as significant predictors.

This study models Rift Valley fever virus persistence via transovarial transmission and finds that a high TOT fraction enables localized persistence with realistic seroprevalence patterns.

This study models Rift Valley fever virus dynamics in Gambian cattle, showing sustained transmission in the Gambia river region and seasonal risk of virus introduction to the Sahelian region via transhumant cattle.

This study estimates RVFV seroprevalence in Gambian livestock and identifies risk factors, finding high cattle seroprevalence and suggesting endemic viral circulation.

The paper models livestock herd movements in East Africa to predict how climate change impacts network dynamics and disease spread.

This study investigates the causes of livestock abortions in Tanzania using a surveillance platform, identifying pathogens and informing disease intervention priorities.

The paper models how targeting Rift Valley fever vaccination with imperfect livestock movement data can prevent outbreaks in northern Tanzania.

The paper investigates causes of livestock abortion in Tanzania using a cohort study and serosurveillance, identifying several infectious agents associated with abortions.

The paper classifies livestock production systems in northern Tanzania using quantitative methods and finds three distinct clusters corresponding to traditional pastoral, agro-pastoral, and smallholder systems, with notable shifts toward crop agriculture.
