ETHICS STATEMENT
The authors confirm that the ethical policies of the journal as noted on the authors guidelines page, have been adhered to. In addition to following current procedures on animal and human ethics processes in Cameroon, the authors communicated with their Australian collaborators to ensure they complied with the National Health and Medical Research Council’s (NHMRC) National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007) and the Universities Australia Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research. This included ensuring that all participants provided verbal informed consent for the collection of animal blood samples, tissues, farmer interviews and participation in videos and images, where written consent was unavailable due to farmer illiteracy.
