Crimean‐Congo Haemorrhagic Fever Virus Exposure in Horses and Donkeys in Border Livestock Markets of Nigeria

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Crimean‐Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is a tick‐borne zoonotic pathogen of major public health importance in Africa. Although CCHFV exposure has been reported in several livestock species in Nigeria, data on equids remain limited despite their extensive involvement in livestock movement and trade.

Cow Milk Risk Factors Associated With Bacterial Contaminations Along Dairy Value Chain in Lushoto and Handeni Districts, Tanzania

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Milk and milk products are important sources of nutrients to human and animals, but due to its physicochemical characteristics and nutritional value, it serves as an excellent medium for growth of microorganisms. Most of smallholder dairy farmers have no training on livestock husbandry and milk handling practices.
