: Approval for this study was obtained from the ethics committee of the University of Salford, Manchester, UK. At each study site in Anka (Zamfara), cattle owners (i.e. Fulani pastoralists) were approached and informed about the aims and methods of the study before being asked for informed consent. In northern Sokoto, the project was first discussed with Miyetti Allah, the local Fulani association that manages cattle markets in the region. Subsequently, cattle sellers in these markets were approached as described above and their informed consent requested.
