Consumption of part own-produced food is regarded as a sustainable approach to attaining dietary diversity and pathway improved nutrition security. However, empirical evidence on the relationship between production inconclusive, with some studies demonstrating positive while others reveal conflicting results. Furthermore, this has not been examined in pastoral contexts. We used data from 502 agro-pastoral households West Pokot County, Kenya, assess indicators household diversity. Our results...
Abstract Objectives This study investigates the frequency and characteristics of carbapenemase‐producing Escherichia coli/Klebsiella pneumoniae (CPE/K) extended‐spectrum cephalosporinase‐producing E. coli/K. (ESCE/K) in healthy humans livestock rural Cambodia. Additionally, household practices as risk factors for faecal carriage ESCE/K are identified. Methods Faecal samples were obtained from 307 285 including large ruminants, pigs poultry living 100 households Cambodia 2011. Each was...
Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonoses globally, and Central Asia remains a Brucella hotspot. The World Health Organization classifies brucellosis as neglected zoonotic disease that rarely in spotlight for research mainly affects poor, marginalized people. Urban peri-urban farming practice many low-income countries, it increases incomes families are often restrained by limited economic resources. However, there concern growing number people livestock living close together these areas...
This study identified and characterized Brucella species in the informal milk chain Uganda. A total of 324 cattle bulk samples were screened for genus by real-time PCR with primers targeting bcsp31 gene further omp25 gene. Of tested, 6.5% positive species. In phylogeny, sequences found to form a separate clade within branch containing B. abortus sequences. The shows that informally marketed Uganda is likely risk factor human brucellosis confirms present population. information important...
Monitoring the use of antimicrobials and emergence resistance in animals people is important for control antimicrobial resistance, establishing sustainable effective disease management practices. In this study, we used Enterococcus spp. Escherichia coli as indicator species to investigate susceptibility patterns how these change over time, on ten Swedish pig farms. Indoor environmental sock sampling was performed once a month during entire production cycle one batch pigs each farm, resulting...
Sustainable development of smallholder agriculture production in low and lower middle-income countries are crucial for improving food security. To accommodate this science based evidence needs to bridge with agricultural practices policy development, which requires coordinated actions long term strategies involving multiple stakeholders. This paper argues that using a Theory Change (ToC) approach, strong emphasis on communication stakeholder engagement, knowledge can be more effectively...
Global trends in urbanization are increasing the spread of neglected zoonotic infections such as leptospirosis, and reducing number human cases leptospirosis is best accomplished by controlling infection animal reservoir. The aim this study was to determine seroprevalence Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo L. interrogans (L. Hardjo) exposure assess associated risk factors for small-scale dairy farming urban peri-urban area Dushanbe, Tajikistan. true individual among cows 13%, level...
Abstract Background African swine fever (ASF), a viral hemorrhagic disease in domestic pigs and wild boar with up to 100% case fatality, was confirmed Swedish September 2023. The responsible authorities launched control programme eradicate the infection. aim of current study understand (i) how pig farmers have perceived information issued by other stakeholders since discovery ASF boar, (ii) which risks they see for introducing infection their farm, (iii) what biosecurity measures taken on...
In the context of Uganda, this study delves into gender-based strategies aimed at enhancing women’s engagement in milk safety, value addition, and marketing within smallholder livestock farming. The objectives were two-fold: first, to document current practices women channels; second, examine constraints, opportunities, related production safe products, along with accessing sustainable markets. Conducted four sub-counties Kiruhura district, research employed both qualitative participatory...
