dc.description.abstract | Tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) are responsible for some of the
most serious emerging infectious diseases facing sub-Saharan
Africa (SSA) and the rest of the world today (1, 2). In Kenya,
TBPs (including viral diseases—arboviruses) like Crimean
Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), Dugbe, Kupe, and Hazara,
as well as hemoparasites that cause babesiosis, theileriosis, and
rickettsiosis, are major impediments to livestock productivity and
public health. | en_US |
