It is found that liquidity and asset quality variables are the most important indicators of bank risk. The evidence on liquidity is consistent with the theory that contagion risk is the main inertia behind bank runs, in the context that severe liquidity constraints seriously undermine public confidence and are signals of terminal risk. The evidence on asset quality suggests that deterioration in asset quality is a precursor of terminal risk. The main policy implication of these findings is that liquidity and asset quality variables are potential "early warning" indicators of bank failure in African economies.

If Eastern Africa is to work towards control of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) using the Progressive Control Pathway for FMD (PCP-FMD) as a tool, then the capacity of national reference laboratories (NRLs) mandated to diagnose FMD should match this task. This study assessed the laboratory capacity of 14 NRLs of the Eastern Africa Region Laboratory Network member countries using a semi-structured questionnaire and retrospective data from the World Reference Laboratory for FMD annual reports and Genbank® through National Centre for Biotechnology Information for the period 2006–2010. Results The questionnaire response rate was 13/14 (93%). Twelve out of the 13 countries/regions had experienced at least one outbreak in the relevant five year period. Only two countries (Ethiopia and Kenya) had laboratories at biosecurity level 3 and only three (Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan) had identified FMD virus serotypes for all ...
