| dc.description.abstract | Major losses in sheep and goats have been incurred from Peste
des petit ruminants (PPR), a relatively new disease in East
Africa. It first appeared in Eastern Uganda but has since spread
to most of Kenya and Northern Tanzania. Small ruminants are
the source of income for most pastoralists in East Africa. In
this study the epidemiology of PPR including risk factors,
prevalence, and socio-economic effects will be analyzed using
participatory tools in Turkana, Kenya and Longido in Tanzania. | en |
