Declarations
:
: Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Ifakara Health Institute Institutional Review Board (IHI/IRB/EXT/No: 23–2019) and the Medical Research Coordination Committee of the National Institute for Medical Research (Certificate No. NIMR/HQ/R.8a/Vol.IX/3085). Before the commencement of data collection, we organised meetings with the study communities to explain the purpose and data collection procedures. A signed informed consent was obtained from the human volunteers and the heads of households, which provided us with experimental calves. The informed consent was translated to Kiswahili, since all the participants understood this language.
: Permission to publish this work was also obtained from NIMR (Ref: NIMR/HQ/P.12 VOL XXXIV/68).
