TL;DR: The findings indicate that this mLAMP method is a new convenient tool for simultaneous detection of the bovine Babesia parasites.

TL;DR: Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a rapid and simple technique since it can be carried out in 1 h and requires only a simple heating device for incubation, which has great potential of being used for diagnosis of trypanosomosis in the laboratory and the field.

TL;DR: Interestingly, the transition of filovirus species causing outbreaks in Central and West Africa during 2005-2014 seemed to be synchronized with the change of the serologically dominant virus species in these bats, suggesting the introduction of multiple species offiloviruses in the migratory bat population.

TL;DR: The logistic regression model showed that cattle herd BTB status was highly associated with area and husbandry practices, and cattle herds in Blue Lagoon were more likely to test positive for BTB when other factors such as management practices were controlled.

TL;DR: BTB was relatively high in the livestock/wildlife interface areas of Lochinvar and Blue Lagoon compared to Kazungula, and should raise a serious public health concern considering the extent to which the communities of the study areas are in contact with their animals and the levels at which they use untreated milk.
