| continuing presence of rinderpest virus as a threat in east africa, 1983-1985. | the re-emergence of rinderpest virus in east africa in 1979 caused widespread outbreaks of disease and subclinical infection throughout the region until mid-1983. subsequent massive emergency vaccination campaigns have been successful in eliminating clinical rinderpest from tanzania and preventing its spread southwards. unfortunately the virus is still endemic in north-eastern uganda and has recently caused epidemic outbreaks with high mortality in cattle in that country. in kenya, buffaloes (sy ... | 1987 | 3824842 |

| bovine tuberculosis in the lake victoria zone of tanzania and its possible consequences for human health in the hiv/aids era. | a total of 8190 cattle from 42 well-managed herds in the lake victoria zone of tanzania were tested for bovine tuberculosis by a single comparative intradermal test (scitt) using avian and bovine purified protein derivative (ppd) antigens. the prevalence of bovine tuberculosis in this area was found to be 0.2%. there was significant variation (p < 0.001) among the herds tested in the four regions in this zone (kagera, mara, mwanza and shinyanga). the highest prevalence (2.12%) was in a herd of 5 ... | 1997 | 9444076 |
| contagious bovine pleuropneumonia in tanzania: current status. | cbpp reappeared in arusha, northern tanzania in 1990, having been introduced from kenya. the disease spread rapidly to mara region through rustling of sick or infected animals. in november 1992, an unrelated outbreak occurred in kagera, having spread from southern uganda. up to the end of december 1994, the disease appeared to be confined to kagera and arusha. in january 1995, cbpp was observed in morogoro region, south of the central railway line. thereafter, the disease spread through western ... | 2001 | 11234189 |
| antibodies against bovine herpesvirus 4 are highly prevalent in wild african buffaloes throughout eastern and southern africa. | bovine herpesvirus 4 (bohv-4) has been isolated from cattle throughout the world. interestingly, a survey of wild african buffaloes mainly from the maasai mara game reserve in kenya revealed that 94% of the animals tested had anti-bohv-4 antibodies [rossiter, p.b., gumm, i.d., stagg, d.a., conrad, p.a., mukolwe, s., davies, f.g., white, h., 1989. isolation of bovine herpesvirus-3 from african buffaloes (syncerus caffer). res. vet. sci. 46, 337-343]. these authors also proposed that the serologic ... | 2005 | 16153785 |
| rinderpest seroprevalence in wildlife in kenya and tanzania, 1982-1993. | eight hundred and thirty five serum samples collected from eight wild artiodactyl species in kenya and tanzania between 1982 and 1993 were tested for virus-neutralising (vn) antibodies to rinderpest (rp) virus. antibodies were found in 116 of 344 buffaloes (syncerus caffer) but not in the other species including 349 wildebeest (connochaetes taurinus). most of the antibody positive buffaloes were from the maasai mara-serengeti ecosystem (mm-se) and would have had opportunity for exposure to the v ... | 2006 | 16529830 |
| prevalence of trypanosoma sp. in cattle from tanzania estimated by conventional pcr and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (lamp). | this study compared the prevalence of trypanosome infections estimated by pfr-loop-mediated isothermal amplification (lamp) with conventional polymerase chain reaction (pcr) tests. one hundred forty eight cattle blood samples were collected from robanda village, mara region, tanzania in april 2008. in conventional pcr, four sets of primers, specific for the detection of trypanosoma sp., trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, trypanosoma vivax, and trypanozoon, as well as a modified lamp were used. conv ... | 2011 | 21739311 |
