Support to Research into the Field Application of East Coast Fever Immunisation and Epidemiology of Related Tick-Borne Diseases KARI ODA Annual Report 3 April 1995 - March 1996

Abstract

The principal features of the year's work were the successful extension of the ECFiM field trials programme into the Githunguri area of Central Province, an unsatisfactory programme of immunisation on KARl farms throughout Kenya, further improvements to the system of delivery of ECFiM, and the production at NVRC of a batch of about 100,000 doses of 'vaccine'. The Final Review of the Project took place in February but several of its recommendations appear unsatisfactory, and it is anticipated that further discussion of the Report will be necessary.
