Species-specific loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for diagnosis of trypanosomosis.
Oriel M. M. Thekisoe,Noritaka Kuboki,Andrew Nambota,Kozo Fujisaki,Chihiro Sugimoto,Ikuo Igarashi,Jun Yasuda,Noboru Inoue +7 more
TL;DR: Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a rapid and simple technique since it can be carried out in 1 h and requires only a simple heating device for incubation, which has great potential of being used for diagnosis of trypanosomosis in the laboratory and the field.

Risk factors associated with bovine tuberculosis in traditional cattle of the livestock/wildlife interface areas in the Kafue basin of Zambia.
Musso Munyeme,John Bwalya Muma,Eystein Skjerve,Andrew Nambota,Isaac K. Phiri,K. L. Samui,Pierre Dorny,Morten Tryland +7 more
TL;DR: The logistic regression model showed that cattle herd BTB status was highly associated with area and husbandry practices, and cattle herds in Blue Lagoon were more likely to test positive for BTB when other factors such as management practices were controlled.

Theileriosis in zambia : etiology, epidemiology and control measures
TL;DR: Theileriosis is a major constraint to the development of the livestock industry in Zambia, with losses of about 10,000 cattle per annum, and both curative drugs and acaricides are very costly.
Acquisition and transmission of Theileria parva by vector tick, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus.
Satoru Konnai,Saiki Imamura,Chie Nakajima,William H. Witola,Shinji Yamada,Martin Simuunza,Andrew Nambota,Jun Yasuda,Kazuhiko Ohashi,Misao Onuma +9 more
TL;DR: Since the rate of transmission of T. parva from infected cattle to ticks and vice versa and the serological evidence of exposure to R. appendiculatus ticks in naturally exposed cattle were relatively high, it would be wise in such a case to consider vector control as well as vaccination against ECF as control measures.

Attachment duration required for Rhipicephalus appendiculatus to transmit Theileria parva to the host.
Satoru Konnai,Shinji Yamada,Saiki Imamura,Martin Simuunza,Mwelwa Chembensof,Amos Chota,Andrew Nambota,Kazuhiko Ohashi,Misao Onuma +8 more
TL;DR: The transmission of T. parva from ticks to mouse skin increased with duration of tick attachment, and would help in the development of effective pharmacologic substances and/or vaccines against ticks.
