Livestock Movement Informs the Risk of Disease Spread in Traditional Production Systems in East Africa

2021-03-17

Abstract excerpt

In Africa, livestock are important to local and national economies, but their productivity is constrained by infectious diseases. Comprehensive information on livestock movements and contacts is required to devise appropriate disease control strategies; yet, understanding contact risk in systems where herds mix extensively, and where different pathogens can be transmitted at different spatial and temporal scales,...
