Abstract

A serosurvey and a tuberculination campaign have been conducted throughout Niger in 1989-1990 on cattle to measure the prevalence rate of six diseases: brucellosis (1.4 %), haemorragic septicaemia (3.9 %), tuberculosis (2 %), coxiellosis (15.4 %), pleuropneumonia (3.7 %), Rift Valley fever (0.52 %). The results were analysed and compared to livestock service reports.
