Comparative diversity of arthropods on Bt Maize and Non-Bt Maize in two different cropping systems in South Africa
Truter, J.; Van Hamburg, H.; Van den Berg, J. (Entomological Society of America, 2014)The biodiversity of an agroecosystem is not only important for its intrinsic value but also because it influences ecological functions that are vital for crop production in sustainable agricultural systems and the surrounding ... -
Comparing the effect of modeled climatic variables on the distribution of African horse in South Africa and Namibia
Liebenberg, Danica; Van Hamburg, Huib; Piketh, Stuart; Burger, Roelof (Wiley, 2015)Africa horse sickness (AHS) is a lethal disease of horses with a seasonal occurrence that is influenced by environmental conditions that favor the development of Culicoides midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae). This study ... -
Culicoides species composition and environmental factors influencing African horse sickness distribution at three sites in Namibia
Liebenberg, Danica; Piketh, Stuart; Greyling, Telane; Mienie, Charlotte; De Waal, Tania; Van Hamburg, Huib (Elsevier, 2016)African horse sickness (AHS) is one of the most lethal infectious, non-contagious, vector-borne disease of equids. The causative agent, African horse sickness virus (AHSV) is transmitted via Culicoides midges (Diptera: ... -
Detection of African horse sickness virus in Culicoides imicola pools using RT-qPCR
De Waal, Tania; Liebenberg, Danica; Venter, Gert J.; Mienie, Charlotte M.S.; Van Hamburg, Huib (Wiley, 2016)African horse sickness (AHS) is an infectious, non-contagious arthropod-borne disease of equids, caused by the African horse sickness virus (AHSV), an orbivirus of the Reoviridae family.

Evidence of African horse sickness virus infection of Equus zebra hartmannae in the south-western Khomas Region, Namibia
Becker, E.; Greyling, T.; Van Hamburg, H.; Venter, G.J.; Molini, U. (Wiley, 2018)Equine mortalities suspected to be due to African horse sickness (AHS) were reported from the arid Khomas Region, Namibia, in 2008. The area was previously considered a localized AHS-free area. Hartmann's mountain zebra ... -
Occurrence of Culicoides species (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in the Khomas region of Namibia during the winter months
Becker, Elbè; Venter, Gert J.; Labuschagne, Karien; Greyling, Telane; Van Hamburg, Huib (Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale dell'Abruzzo e del Molise G. Caporale, 2012)Although African horse sickness (AHS) is considered to be endemic in Namibia, limited data on its Culicoides midge vector (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are available. The principal study objective was to determine the presence, ... -
The relative abundance of maize stem borers and their parasitids at the Tshiombo irrigation scheme in Venda, South Africa

Trap cropping with Napier grass, Pennisetum purpureum (Schumach), decreases damage by maize stem borers
Van den Berg, Johnnie; Van Hamburg, Huib (Taylor & Francis, 2015)Napier grass, Pennisetum purpureum (Schumach), in combination with intercrops has been used successfully in habitat management for maize stem borers in Africa. The use of Napier grass only as a trap or barrier plant for ... -
A web-based survey of horse owners’ perceptions and network analysis of horse movements relating to African horse sickness distribution in Namibia and South Africa
Liebenberg, Danica; Piketh, Stuart; Van Hamburg, Huib (Elsevier, 2016)Africa horse sickness (AHS) is the most lethal infectious non-contagious horse disease and has accordingly been declared notifiable by the World Organisation for Animal Health. AHS is endemic to sub-Saharan Africa and ...
