Diagnostics and risk factors for bovine respiratory disease
… and unknown risk distributions for bovine respiratory disease (BRD) are some of the most important issues faced by the feedlot industry. Given these issues, the overarching themes of this thesis are on the evaluation of point-of-care diagnostic methods for BRD and on summarizing, …

Field comparison of intranasal and injectable bovine respiratory disease vaccination on beef calf antibody concentrations, average daily gain, and bovine respiratory disease morbidity
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a multifactorial disease complex that is common in feedlot operations, where it causes major economic loss through: reduction in average daily gain, treatment costs, and mortality. Reducing BRD incidence would increase profits to producers, reduce antimicrobial …

The burden of chronic respiratory disease in the Western Cape
Chronic respiratory disease (CRD), comprised mainly of asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although asthma and COPD cannot be cured, they can be controlled using appropriate medications. Poorly controlled CRD is …

Host heterogeneity and respiratory disease dynamics: From structural inequity to immune history
Host heterogeneity is a core driver of infectious disease dynamics and has been widely explored in ecology and evolution. However, in human populations, social inequity remains underexplored as a source of heterogeneity despite having long been identified as a threat to global health and infectious …

Determinants of occupational allergic respiratory disease and asthma in spice mill workers
… risk factors associated with allergic respiratory disease among spice mill workers. A cross-sectional epidemiological study of 150 currently employed workers in a spice mill was conducted. Environmental exposure assessment entailed the collection of 62 full-shift airborne personal …

The use of assisted autogenic drainage in children with acute and chronic respiratory disease
Background: Respiratory problems, both acute and chronic, remain an important cause of disease burden for children worldwide. Airway clearance techniques, as part of the management of these conditions, might influence the course of the disease thereby reducing this burden. Objective: This PhD …

A MULTIMODAL CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH TO BOVINE RESPIRATORY DISEASE COMPLEX (BRDC) IN DAIRY CALVES
Calf bronchopneumonia (BP), or Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex (BRDC), to date is still difficult to diagnose due to the multifactorial nature of its etiopathogenesis and aspecificity of clinical symptomatology. In this research project, four studies were conducted to investigate various aspects …
