Prevalence of Human and Animal Fasciolosis in Butajira and Gilgel Gibe Health Demographic Surveillance System Sites in Ethiopia [PDF]
Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023 Fasciolosis is regarded as a major challenge to livestock productivity worldwide, but the burden of disease in humans has only started to receive some attention in the past three decades. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of human and

Constraints of using historical data for modelling the spatial distribution of helminth parasites in ruminants [PDF]
Parasite, 2021 Dicrocoelium dendriticum is a trematode that infects ruminant livestock and requires two different intermediate hosts to complete its lifecycle. Modelling the spatial distribution of this parasite can help to improve its management in higher risk regions.

Tick ecology and host-finding efficiency interact to determine disease risk: a model of heartwater dynamics [PDF]
ParasitologyHeartwater is a tick-borne disease (TBD) of wild and livestock ruminants that threatens food security and the economy throughout much of Africa. Furthermore, the geographic range of heartwater is expanding and is predicted to continue doing so.
