Infection dynamics and disease burden of East African cattle (IDEAL) by Woolhouse, Mark, Bronsvoort, Barend Mark de Clare, Toye, Philip G., Kiara, Henry Kimathi, Poole, Elizabeth J., Mbole-Kariuki, Ndila, Njiiri, Evalyne

“…IDEAL was a multi-disciplinary study addressing two main issues: 1) the widely recognised lack of baseline epidemiological data on the dynamics and impacts of infectious diseases of cattle in the tropics; and 2) improving understanding of interactions between multiple infections and their sequelae by testing two specific hypotheses: i) that the negative impacts of different infections are not independent; ii) that positive traits (e.g. resistance to infection and/or disease, good condition etc.) cluster in certain individuals. This dataset contains links to data from all field activities - recruitment survey, longitudinal household and animal monitoring.…”
