This report publishes the proceedings of a Workshop which was held to discuss the most appropriate ways of collecting, handling and analysing data on the performance and productivity of cattle immunized against East Coast fever (ECF). The Workshop was thus a sequel to one held in 1984 in which the different methods of immunization against ECF were discussed.
Regular workshops of this kind are becoming an important means whereby different groups and countries involved in ECF immunization can keep in close contact and in this way develop, between themselves, the most appropriate methods and strategies for ECF control in different situations.
The Workshop received generous financial support from ILRAD and FAO (through the Tick and Tick-borne Diseases Programme sponsored by FAO and the Danish International Development Agency).
Grateful thanks are expressed to the Director General, ILRAD, for use of facilities, to J.K. Lenahan for help in organisation and to T.T. Dolan for help and advice during editing. The expert assistance of Mrs D. Churi and Mrs R. Alondo in preparation of the manuscript is gratefully acknowledged.
