Risk factors associated with occurrence of African swine fever outbreaks in smallholder pig farms in four districts along the Uganda-Kenya border by Nantima, Noelina, Ocaido, M., Ouma, Emily A., Davies, J., Dione, Michel M., Okoth, Edward A., Mugisha, A., Bishop, Richard P.

“…The study recommended the need to sensitize farmers to adopt proper biosecurity practices such as total confinement of pigs, treatment of swill, isolation of newly purchased pigs for at least 2 weeks, and provision of incentives for farmers to report suspected outbreaks to authorities and rapid confirmation of outbreaks.…”

A global surveillance system for crop diseases: global preparedness minimizes the risk to food supplies by Carvajal-Yepes, Mónica, Cardwell, K., Nelson, A., Garrett, K. A., Giovani, B., Saunders, Diane G.O., Kamoun, S., Legg, James P., Verdier, Valerie M., Lessel, J., Neher, R. A., Day, R., Pardey, Philip G., Gullino, Maria Lodovica, Records, Angela R., Bextine, B., Leach, Jan E., Staiger Rivas, Simone, Tohme, Joseph M.

“…To improve responses to unexpected crop disease spread, we propose a Global Surveillance System (GSS) that will extend and adapt established biosecurity practices and networking facilities into LICs, enabling countries and regions to quickly respond to emerging disease outbreaks to stabilize food supplies, enhancing global food protection.…”

Seropositivity rates of zoonotic pathogens in small ruminants and associated public health risks at informal urban markets in Zambia by Lysholm, S., Fischer, K., Lindahl, Johanna F., Munyeme, M., Wensman, Jonas Johansson

“…This risk is aggravated by limited disease monitoring and poor control systems with regards to biosecurity and public health. The aim of this study was to investigate the risks for spread of zoonotic diseases in Zambia's two largest informal small ruminant markets, located in Lusaka and Kasumbalesa, through combining seroepidemiology with interviews and observations. …”

Evaluating the risk of spread of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza in Kenya by Bett, Bernard K., Hansen, F., Onkundi, D., Costard, Solenne, Randolph, Thomas F., Pfeiffer, Dirk U.

“…Qualitative risk assessment studies indicated that the risk of transmission of the disease from an infected backyard farm was higher than that from an infected small scale commercial farm due to poor biosecurity practices practised in such farms. Free-range production systems in backyard poultry farms, for example, allow unlimited contact between poultry and “farm-bridge” animals and birds. …”
