This is a multi-disciplinary study addressing two major issues: 1) the widely recognised lack of baseline epidemiological data on the dynamics and impacts of infectious diseases of cattle in the tropics; and 2) improving understanding of interactions between multiple infections and their sequelae by testing two specific hypotheses: i) that the negative impacts of different infections are not independent; ii) that 'positive' traits (e.g. resistance toinfection and/or disease, good condition, immunological status etc.) cluster in certain individuals. The project involves an intensive longitudinal field study of 500 Kenyan cattle from birth to 12 months old, providing data on as many as 80 infections, episodes of clinical disease and their sequelae, genetic polymorphisms, and markers of immune and nutritional status.These datawill be used to estimate attributable impacts for all infectious diseases found and also to design decision support criteria for subsequent development as diagnostic aids, and for statistical analysis of associations between different infections and their sequelae and genotype and phenotype. Specimens will be placed in a Biobank and linked to a comprehensive clinical, epidemiological and demographic database, providing a unique resource for future research.
