Better data: currently, the quality of GIS analyses is constrained by poor data on the distribution of current tsetse populations, non-human and human trypanosomosis prevalence, livestock population densities, agricultural production, biodiversity, soil fertility, land-use, infrastructure, income...

Trypanosomiasis control: The conflict between food production and biodiversity in Africa
This paper highlights the growing divergence between the supply and demand for livestock products in sub-Saharan Africa with special reference to the Preferential Trade Area (PTA) region. Livestock diseases, especially theileriosis and trypanosomiasis, among other constraints, are identified as a...

Future climate, human population and socio-economic changes and their likely effects on tsetse and trypanosomosis control in sub-Saharan Africa
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...

Environmental impacts of trypanosomiasis control through land-use change: Conceptual model, approach and preliminary results
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...
