Interepidemic Seroepidemiological Survey of Rift Valley Fever in Garissa, KenyaMark Nanyingi
Background: Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a vector-borne zoonotic disease that is caused by phlebovirus and transmitted primarily by aedes mosquitoes. RVF outbreaks have led to significant effects to human and animal health in the Horn of Africa and Arabian Peninsula. The economic impact of 1997-98, 2000 and 2006-2007 outbreaks due to massive livestock abortions, deaths, acute human illness and deaths was estimated at over $ 500 million. We hypothesize there is consistent virus circulation in RVF endemic areas of Northern Kenya and RVF epidemics have potential associations with environmental and climatic parameters. The objective of this study was to detect circulation of RVFV in goats, sheep and cattle in Garissa County, Kenya during the inter-epidemic period (IEP).
Methodology: We performed a cross-sectional surveillance of ruminants in RVF high risk areas of Garissa County, Kenya. Periodic blood sampling of sheep, goats and cattle was done in March 2012 and July 2013. Serological analysis for total antiRVF antibodies for 370 ruminants was investigated using a multispecies competitive Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit. Host risk factors for RVFV seropositivity were examined by both univariable analysis and mixed effects logistic regression model. Unadjusted odds ratios (OR) for seropositivity were estimated using log linear regression model.
Results: The overall seroprevalence for the 370 ruminants was 27.6%. Sheep (n= 87) and cattle (n= 12) had higher prevalence 32.2% (CI [20.6 -31]) and 33.3% (CI [6.7 -60]) respectively than goats (n = 271), 25.8% (CI [22.4 – 42]). Seropostivity in males was 31.8% (CI [22.2-31.8]) higher than 27% (CI [18.1-45.6]) in females. There was an increased likelihood of higher seropositivity in old (OR 18.24, CI [5.26 -116.4]), p < 0.0001) than young animals.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates the widespread serological evidence and potential RVFV circulation among domestic ruminants in Garissa district thus indicative of an endemic reservoir of infection. There is need for increased preparedness and response in RVF endemic areas by conducting animal-human syndromic sero-surveillance as part of one health early warning system.
1) The document discusses a household survey conducted in Kenya that examined farmer perceptions of climate variability and changes in temperature and rainfall over the past 10 years.
2) The majority of farmers reported changes in rainfall patterns, most commonly an increase in rainfall amounts, and changes in temperature, mostly higher temperatures.
3) Farmers perceived that changes in rainfall and higher temperatures generally led to declines in crop yields, difficulties timing seasons, and increases in pests and diseases.
4) In response to changes in rainfall patterns, 42% of households reported adopting adaptation measures like changing crop varieties, soil conservation, planting trees, and irrigation.

This document summarizes different modeling methods for predicting insect population dynamics under varying environmental conditions. It discusses three main types of temperature-based models: degree day models, nonlinear models, and distribution delay models. Degree day models assume development is based on thermal time units but do not account for individual variation. Nonlinear models use exponential or logistic functions to model temperature effects but have limited applicability. Distribution delay models account for variation in development times. The document recommends future models incorporate additional environmental factors and individual variability to improve prediction accuracy.
This document summarizes modeling work done to forecast the Ebola outbreak in West Africa in August 2014.

Rift Valley fever: Influence of herd immunity patterns on transmission dynamicsILRI
The document summarizes research on modeling the influence of herd immunity patterns on Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) transmission dynamics. The model simulates RVFV transmission between cattle and sheep populations and two vector species. The model reproduces the 2006-2007 outbreak in Kenya and predicts high herd immunity levels afterwards that decline over five years. Specifically, immunity declines to 0.3% in sheep and 6% in cattle. This finding suggests herd immunity patterns can modify the length of inter-epizootic periods for RVFV in Kenya.
This document summarizes modeling of the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa conducted by researchers. It provides current case and death counts by country. Modeling is being done using official data and making assumptions to fill gaps. Forecasts presented predict continuing rapid growth in cases and infected individuals in the coming weeks in Liberia, Sierra Leone and overall across the affected countries, despite control efforts. The reproductive numbers used in the modeling suggest ongoing human-to-human transmission is driving the outbreak.

The document discusses biological warfare and bioterrorism. It notes that biological warfare involves the intentional use of microorganisms and toxins to cause disease and death in humans, livestock, and crops. Biological agents are attractive for warfare and terroristic attacks due to low production costs and ease of access to disease-causing agents. Adherence to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention and monitoring protocols are important steps in reducing threats from biological warfare and bioterrorism.
Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) belongs to the solanaceae which is one of commercial crop produced mainly in northern and central rift valley areas of Ethiopia. It is affected by many biotic and abiotic factors especially fungal diseases mainly powdery mildew is the main challenging factor on tomato production in irrigated agriculture. Powdery mildew (Leveillula taurica) is a major pathogen of tomato. The experiment was conducted at Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Centre in 2020/21 using Galilae tomato variety. Mascot (Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP) was used as test product and Ridomol gold 68% was used at standard check. High progress was observed on control, while lower were obtained on treated plots by Mascot (Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP) and Ridomil gold 68WP. More diseased leaf number (5.70) were observed on control, conversely more healthy leaf were found from treated plots by Ridomil gold 68 WP and mascot (Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP). Good yield 18 t/ha is obtained on Ridomil gold 68% WP. Good yield advantage 13.5 t/kg is obtained from Ridomil gold 68% WP and Mascot has revealed 13 t/ha. Higher AUDPC; about 395% has been obtained on control, while lowest were 165% and 170% from mascot (Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP) and Ridomil gold 68% WP, respectively. Plots treated with mascot (Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP) and Ridomil gold 68% WP have showed lowest TDS 4.00% and 5.00%. Variation in powdery mildew infection rate due to the prevention level of the treatment was clearly observed with this regards; fungicides appropriate for the environment need to be tested to use as alternative fungicide and reduce the fungicide resistance.
1. The document discusses methods for assessing yield loss caused by plant pathogens. It describes using yield loss records to make decisions about disease management, research priorities, and insurance.
2. Models for quantifying yield loss are presented, including the critical point model, multiple point model, and AUDPC (area under the disease progress curve) model. Key yield components that can be impacted by disease are also outlined.
3. Procedures for measuring disease progression over time are provided, which involve regularly recording infection levels and calculating trapezoidal areas under the disease progress curve. This data can then be used in yield loss models.

Breeding for disease resistance in maize new breeders course - lusaka zambi...Suresh, L.M
This document summarizes research on breeding for disease resistance in maize. It discusses the major maize diseases that affect production in different agro-ecological zones in sub-Saharan Africa. The need to manage diseases to prevent economic losses is explained. Constraints and focus diseases for the lowlands and mid-high altitudes are outlined. The objective of the research is to identify superior disease resistant germplasm for breeding programs using multi-location phenotyping and association mapping approaches. Methods for screening germplasm under natural and artificial epidemics are described. Promising sources of resistance identified for gray leaf spot, maize streak virus, northern corn leaf blight, and rust are presented.
The document discusses plant disease forecasting. It provides information on:
1. The principles of disease forecasting are based on the nature of the pathogen, environmental effects on pathogen development, host response to infection, and grower activities.
2. Models for disease prediction include empirical, simulation, and general circulation models, but these models have limitations due to uncertainty and non-linear relationships.
3. Disease forecasts are used for strategic decision making like crop selection and tactical decisions around disease management measures. Successful forecasting requires reliability, simplicity, importance of the disease, and usefulness.
This powerpoint is based on research and trials compiled in 2013 by Suzanne Simard, Jean Heineman, Jean Mather and Don Sachs via the BC Forest Innovations Investment group. It recommends curtailing the widespread planting of lodgepole pine (pinus contorta) throughout the BC interior, especially in the Interior Cedar Hemlock (ICH) and Englemann Spruce Subalpine Fir (ESSF) biogeoclimatic zones.
The study also recommends that climate change is likely to exacerbate the effects of pests and disease on lodgepole pine.
