Risk associated with animals moved from herds infected with brucellosis in Northern Ireland
Journal Article
Stringer, L. A., Guitian, J., Abernethy, D. A., Honhold, N. H., & Menzies, F. D. Risk associated with animals moved from herds infected with brucellosis in Northern Ireland. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 84(1-2), 72-84. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2007.11.005

The movement of cattle front herds infected with Brucella abortus was investigated in order to assess the control measures for eradication of brucellosis from the cattle population of Northern Ireland. Using recorded cattle movement data, a historica... Read More about Risk associated with animals moved from herds infected with brucellosis in Northern Ireland.

Integrated cost-benefit analysis of tsetse control and herd productivity to inform control programs for animal African trypanosomiasis
Journal Article
Meyer, A., Holt, H. R., Oumarou,, F., Chilongo, K., Gilbert, W., Fauron, A., Mumba, C., & Guitian, J. (in press). Integrated cost-benefit analysis of tsetse control and herd productivity to inform control programs for animal African trypanosomiasis. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-018-2679-x

Animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT) and its tsetse vector are responsible for annual losses estimated in billions of US dollars ($). Recent years have seen the implementation of a series of multinational interventions. However, actors of AAT control...
