National serosurvey and risk mapping reveal widespread distribution of Coxiella burnetii in Kenya by Wambua, Lillian, Bett, Bernard K., Abkallo, Hussein M., Muturi, Mathew, Nthiwa, D., Nyamota, Richard, Kiprono, Enock, Kirwa, Lynn, Gakuya, F., Bartlow, A.W., Middlebrook, E.A., Fair, J., Njenga, K., Gachohi, J., Mwatondo, Athman, Akoko, James M.

“…Outputs from the multivariable analysis revealed that the animal age and some of the geographical variables including wind speed, area under shrubs and “petric calcisols” type of soil were significantly associated with <i>C. burnetii</i> seropositivity. Being a calf, weaner or subadult was associated with lower odds of exposure compared to being an adult by 0.24 (credibility interval: 2.5% and 97.5%), 0.41 (0.30–0.55) and 0.51 (0.38–0.69), respectively. …”

Desarrollo de germoplasma by International Center for Tropical Agriculture

“…General characteristics of germplasm accessions include: low yield potential of the majority of existing accessions (low HI); low frequency of accessions with high resistance to any given disease or pest; very low frequency of accessions having combined high resistance to all diseases and pests in a given region; limited range of adaptation of a given accession: much variability to be exploited in breeding exists. Gene pools are being formed for each edaphoclimatic zone. Studies on methods for improving selection efficiency by early generation selection within cassava-growing edaphoclimatic zones in Colombia are being continued. …”
