A framework for assessing the effects of shock events on livestock and environment in sub-Saharan Africa: The COVID-19 pandemic in northern Kenya por Graham, Michael, Chelanga, Philemon, Jensen, Nathaniel D., Leitner, Sonja, Fava, Francesco P., Merbold, Lutz

“…RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Overall GHG emissions from livestock in Northern Kenya have decreased due to the pandemic and this was largely driven by reductions in herd size. This reduction in GHG emissions occurred despite an increase in GHG emissions from livestock associated with higher feed availability. …”

Suitability of root, tuber, and banana crops in Central Africa can be favoured under future climates por Manners, Rhys, Vandamme, Elke, Adewopo, Julius, Thornton, Philip K., Friedmann, Michael, Carpentier, Sebastien C., Ezui, Kodjovi Senam, Thiele, Graham

“…Location- and crop-dependent shifts to different variety types were found to be effective in improving suitability under future climates. Significance Data driven insights generated from this work can be used as a first step in developing spatially explicit recommendations for both farmers and decision-makers on how to adapt to climate change and plan investment in the research needed to adapt root, tuber, and banana-based livelihoods and systems to those long-term changes.…”

To standardize by mass of soil or organic carbon? A comparison of permanganate oxidizable carbon (POXC) assay methods por Wade, Jordon, Li, Chongyang, Pulleman, Mirjam Margreet, Trankina, Grace, Wills, Skye, Margenot, Andrew J.

“…This broader range of values was not driven by large differences in the amount of MnO4− reduced per unit of SOC analyzed, but rather resulted from normalizing the amount of MnO4− reduced on a soil mass basis. …”

Molecular prevalence and risk factors associated with tick-borne pathogens in cattle in western Kenya por Chiuya, T., Villinger, J., Masiga, D.K., Ondifu, D.O., Murungi, Maurice K., Wambua, Lillian, Bastos, A.D.S., Fèvre, Eric M., Falzon, Laura C.

“…We set out to identify TBPs present in cattle and to determine associated risk factors in western Kenya, where smallholder livestock production is important for subsistence and market-driven income. Results Tick-borne pathogen infections in blood samples collected from cattle at livestock markets and slaughterhouses between May 2017 and January 2019 were identified by high-resolution melting analysis and sequencing of PCR products of genus-specific primers. …”

Population genomics of Escherichia coli in livestock-keeping households across a rapidly developing urban landscape por Muloi, Dishon M., Wee, B.A., McClean, D.M.H., Ward, M.J., Pankhurst, L., Phan, H., Ivens, A.C., Kivali, Velma, Kiyong'a, Alice, Ndinda, Christine, Gitahi, N., Ouko, T.T., Hassell, James M., Imboma, Titus, Akoko, James M., Karani, Maurice K., Njoroge, Samuel M., Muinde, Patrick, Nakamura, Y., Alumasa, Lorren, Furmaga, E., Kaitho, T., Öhgren, E.M., Amanya, Fredrick, Ogendo, Allan, Wilson, D.J., Bettridge, Judy M., Kiiru, J., Kyobutungi, C., Tacoli, C., Kang'ethe, Erastus K., Davila, J.D., Kariuki, S., Robinson, Timothy P., Rushton, J., Woolhouse, Mark E.J., Fèvre, Eric M.

“…Resistome similarity was differently distributed across host and household, consistent with being driven by shared exposure to antimicrobials. Our results indicate that a large, epidemiologically structured sampling framework combined with WGS is needed to uncover strain-sharing events among different host populations in complex environments and the major contributing pathways that could ultimately drive the emergence of zoonoses and the spread of antimicrobial resistance.…”
