Tick and tick-borne diseases, especially East Coast fever, caused byTheileria parva, are amongst the most important factors limiting cattle production in Eastern, Central, and Southern Africa. In the past, they have been controlled mainly by the use of acaricides to kill ticks. Immunization has been shown to be an effective alternative method of control of tick-borne diseases in limited field trials. A development program has been initiated to produce vaccines and implement immunization on a wide scale in the region in a sustainable manner as part of an integrated tick and tickborne disease control program. The consequent reduction in cattle mortality is expected to have far-reaching benefits for the region

Children from refugee backgrounds have the right and the ability to contribute to research knowledge. But they need researchers to develop methods that enact respect and are theoretically appropriate. This chapter describes a methodological approach to understanding the well-being of children from refugee backgrounds from their own perspective. Two computer-assisted interviews were developed as research tools that enact respect for refugee children by facilitating young refugee participants’ agency and engagement, using accessible interfaces with child-friendly, age and culture appropriate tasks, and instructions that enable children to express their views with confidence and comfort. People and places in your life and Living in Australia invite children to work on and evaluate quantitative and qualitative tasks and questions. Two illustrative studies grounded in respect show how the data constructed in these CAIs are suitable for analyzes of themes and trends, standout features, and personal meanings as the basis of group comparisons and textual analysis of individual profiles. The usefulness of the methodology is discussed in relation to the need to understand the perspectives of refugee children and other children about their well-being.
