TL;DR: The Machakos dog population is growing, highly dynamic, poorly supervised and inadequately vaccinated against rabies, which means adequate vaccination coverage is unlikely to be achieved, even under optimal delivery, using the current strategy of annual vaccination of dogs older than 3 months.

TL;DR: The review recommends that future ECF epidemiological studies should account for the major factors associated with epidemiology of ECF, which include the agro-ecological zone, livestock production system and both animal breed and age.

TL;DR: The present findings indicate that porcine cysticercosis is endemic in Homa Bay District, and that latrine provision, in conjunction with free-range pig keeping contributes significantly to porCine cystsercosis transmission.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the exposure of the Kenyan population to the two mycotoxins in two counties (Nandi and Makueni) using children younger than 5 years as the proxy.

TL;DR: The close social relationships between actors in pig movement networks indicate the potential for possible interventions to develop shared norms and mutually accepted protocols amongst smallholder pig keepers to better manage the risk of ASF introduction and transmission.
