Disease transmission is maintained under different and complex epidemiological settings involving domestic and wild swine and arthropod vectors. Due to the fact that no vaccine has been obtained so far, prevention, control, and eradication of the disease is mainly based on the early detection and the implementation of strict sanitary measures. The disease is endemic in Sub-Saharan countries of Africa [2]. Since 1997, ASF was acknowledged in Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi and many other African countries where the spreading is out of control, causing a serious threat to African countries [1]. African swine fever is since 2012 the most important threat to pigs in the Ruvuma region (official unpublished documented). ASF outbreaks have been continuing in the different districts in Ruvuma region, causing severe economic losses for many pig farmers and pork producers (slaughters/ butcheries; official unpublished documents). In addition, the number of ASF cases in Ruvuma region has dramatically increased over the past few years and is at the moment present in four districts. Evidence supports direct contact with infected pigs imported for slaughter that are kept in free- range management, and consumption of contaminated feed (i.e. uninspected pig offals and game meat), as the main transmission routes of ASF virus (ASFV) to domestic pigs. On the other hand, significant awareness gaps emphasize the vital need for research to investigate the importance of indirect transmission from the environment.This will provide an improved basis of knowledge on how to optimize current interventions and develop new strategies to reduce the risk of ASFV transmission to domestic pigs. 1 ASFV can be preserved in domestic pigs through a pig-to-tick cycle, which does not involve warthogs, and a pig-to-pig cycle through direct contact between infected and susceptible animals [3, 4]. Whilst the acute form of the disease is oftenseen in domestic pigs [5]. The importance of training and knowledge transfer of a devastating disease like ASF in domestic pigs has been recognized for many years since its first description in 1921 and was appreciated 1957 in Africa [6, 7]. Since acceptable circumstances concerning the control and prevention of ASF is not yet accomplished in Africa, there is still spread of the disease in many countries. In this situation, the Songea municipality is at high risk of introduction of the disease by legal or illegal movements of animals and animal products, particularly through imported pigs (abattoirs). In order to design a rational eradication model that takes into account different risk situations, knowledge about the pig farming systems / pork meat production and contact

  • Tanzania MFR Summary Report
    TANZANIA August 20, 2018 Market Fundamentals Summary KEY MESSAGES The objective of this report is to document the basic market context Figure 1. Map of Tanzania for staple food and livestock production and marketing in Tanzania. The information presented is based on desk research, a field assessment using rapid rural appraisal techniques, and a consultation workshop with stakehoders in Tanzania. Findings from this report will inform regular market monitoring and analysis in Tanzania. Maize, rice, sorghum, millet, pulses (beans and peas), cassava and bananas (plantains) are the main staple foods in Tanzania. Maize is the most widely consumed staple in Tanzania and the country imports significant quantities of wheat to meet local demand for wheat flour. Consumption of other staples varies across the country based on local supply and demand dynamics. Cattle, goat and sheep are the major sources of red meat consumed in Tanzania. Tanzania’s cropping calendar follows two distinct seasonal patterns. The Msimu season covers unimodal rainfall areas in the south, west and central parts of the country while the Masika and Vuli seasons Source: FEWS NET (2018). cover bi-modal rainfall areas in the north and eastern parts of the country (Figure 5). Figure 2. Tanzania’s average self sufficiency status for key staple foods (2014/15 – 2017/18) As a member of the East Africa Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), Tanzania plays an important role in regional staple food trade across East and Southern Africa (Annex III). The country is generally a surplus producer of staple cereals and pulses, and exports significant quantities of these commodities to neighboring countries in East and Southern Africa inlcuding Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratice Republic of Congo (Figure 2).

  • Tanzania 2012 Human Rights Report
    TANZANIA 2012 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The United Republic of Tanzania is a multiparty republic consisting of the mainland and the semiautonomous Zanzibar archipelago, whose main islands are Unguja and Pemba. The union is headed by a president, who is also the head of government. Its unicameral legislative body is the National Assembly (parliament). Zanzibar, although part of the union, has its own government with a president, court system, and legislature, and exercises considerable autonomy. Tanzania held its fourth multiparty general elections in 2010 in which voters on mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar elected a union president (Jakaya Kikwete) and their respective representatives in the union legislature. The Zanzibari electorate chose Ali Mohamed Shein as president of Zanzibar. The union and Zanzibari elections were judged to be largely free and fair. Union security forces reported to civilian authorities, but there were instances in which elements of the security forces acted independently of civilian control. The three most widespread and systemic human rights problems in the country were excessive use of force by security forces resulting in deaths and injuries, restrictions on political expression, and lack of access to justice as well as a related continuation of mob violence. Other human rights problems included harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; lengthy pretrial detention; some restrictions on religious freedom; restrictions on the movement of refugees; official corruption; societal violence against women and persons with albinism; child abuse, including female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C); and discrimination based on sexual orientation. Trafficking in persons, both internal and international, as well as child labor were also problems.

    No: 05. 2014/15 Cropping Season Review for October 21-31, 2014 and Outlook for November 1-10, 2014 HIGHLIGHT Seasonal rainfall continued to feature over some of the bimodal areas during October 21-31, 2014 and provided favorable conditions for crops growth. The unimodal areas remained seasonally dry. The expected rainfall over the bimodal areas during November 1-10, 2014 will be favorable for crops growth and development. Farmers are advised to take precautionary measures for their safety and properties where frequent rainfall and thunderstorms are predicted. SYNOPTIC SUMMARY DURING and acquisition of farm inputs. Water and pasture availability for OCTOBER 21-31, 2014 livestock and wildlife were moderate, slight improvement was observed over the bimodal areas particularly Lake Victoria basin due to the prevailing vuli rains. uring October 21-31, 2014, high pressure systems over the D northern hemisphere relaxed slightly, while those in the southern hemisphere intensified slightly. As a result, the zonal arm of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) was diffused while the meridional arm of the ITCZ maintained its position in the west. This configuration influenced weather over the Lake Victoria Basin and western, while supressing activities over the northern coast. WEATHER SUMMARY DURING OCTOBER 21-31, 2014 n view of the observed synoptic conditions, seasonal rainfall I continued to feature over some of the bimodal areas particularly areas around Lake Victoria basin, northern Kigoma region and a few places over Tanga and Morogoro regions. However, periods of dry spells were observed over some of the bimodal areas including Figure 1: Improved Rainfall Estimates from Satellite Rainfall Arusha, Manyara, Kilimanjaro, Coast, and Dar-es-Salaam regions.
