Heartwater, caused by the rickettsial organism Cowdria ruminantium, is a serious constraint to livestock development in much of sub-Saharan Africa. Traditionally, the disease has been controlled by the use of chemical acaricides to control the vector tick. The University of Florida/USAID-supporte...

For at least five decades, tsetse biologists have observed that the populations of some species of tsetse (particularly species in the morsitans group of flies) decline as fly habitat is converted into cultivated land and host populations are decimated by hunting. Some have even suggested that ts...

More effective control of tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiasis may open vast areas of Africa to livestock production, both increasing food production and endangering biodiversity on the continent. This paper Reports on the Development of a conceptual model of the linkages between trypanosomiasis co...

Animal trypanosomosis is particularly important in Ethipia where 7-10 million cattle are at risk. A geo-referenced census of over 5000 households was conducted between March and July 1996 to better understand factors affecting demand of the a cypermethrin pour-ons used since January 1991 to contr...
