October 05, 2015 at 02:42PM Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia in Africa, a disease in search of epidemiological data

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia is endemic in sub-Saharan Africa where, despite its significant socioeconomic impact, it has nevertheless been largely overlooked to date. There is a lack of reliable data in terms of epidemiology in particular. A survey conducted with the support of CIRAD filled in the gaps for Mali and demonstrated that thorough field studies in all the countries affected by the disease would be of significant interest. Those studies could serve as the basis for effective disease management, to ensure better control and eventually its eradication in Africa.
