Cattle and Buffalo distribution (Africa)

Entry ID: NBId0012_101

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The Cattle and Buffalo distribution dataset shows cattle and buffalo
distribution for sub-Saharan, East and Central Africa. It is part of
the East Coast Fever (ECF) dataset. The ECF study determined both
areas at risk and potential migration of the disease by cattle and a
potential pool of infection for transmitting the disease to domestic
cattle by Buffalo. Buffalo is the main wildlife host of the ECF. The
study was carried out in Nairobi in collaboration with United Nations
Environment Program, Global Resource Information Database (UNEP/GRID)
and the International Laboratory for Research on Animal Diseases
(ILRAD), now called International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI).
