Kristjanson, Patricia M.Radeny, Maren A.O.Nkedianye, D.Kruska, R.L.Reid, Robin S.Gichohi, H.Atieno, F.Sanford, R.[Valuing alternative land-use options in the Kitengela wildlife dispersal area of Kenya.

Wangui, Elizabeth EdnaOkello, O.O.Gardiner, A.J.Kruska, R.L.Baya, M.S.Reid, Robin S.[Land-use change after tsetse control in Kanyati communal land, northwestern Zimbabwe. Poster]Land-use change after tsetse control in Kanyati communal land, northwestern Zimbabwe. Poster

This paper examines how controlling livestock trypanosomiasis, transmitted by tsetse-fly (Glossina spp.), affects the rate and location of agricultural expansion in Ghibe Valley, Ethiopia. Control of the disease will reduce animal mortality, increase productivity per animal and cause livestock po...


Reid, Robin S.Thornton, Philip K.Kruska, R.L.[Livestock disease control and the changing landscapes of south-west Ethiopia]Livestock disease control and the changing landscapes of south-west Ethiopia

The question of whether the contentious situation at the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania, engendered by human population growth, agricultural intensification and perceptions of proper and sustainable land use, is a prevalent problem on a broader continental scale is addressed.


Ellis, J.Reid, Robin S.Thornton, Philip K.Kruska, R.L.[Population growth and land-use change among pastoral people: Local processes and continental patterns. Poster]Population growth and land-use change among pastoral people: Local processes and continental patterns. Poster

In southwestern Ethiopia, recent chaotic events, changes in land tenure and introduction of tsetse fly [Glossina tachinoides] control have precipitated changes in the use of land and other natural resources. In turn, these changes have initiated shifts in rangeland biodiversity. Unexpectedly, sma...


Reid, Robin S.Wilson, C.J.Kruska, R.L.[The influence of human use on rangeland biodiversity in Ghibe Valley, Ethiopia, as affected by natural resource use changes and livestock disease control]The influence of human use on rangeland biodiversity in Ghibe Valley, Ethiopia, as affected by natural resource use changes and livestock disease control

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...


Reid, Robin S.Kruska, R.L.Thornton, Philip K.[Will human population growth and land-use change control tsetse during our life times?]Will human population growth and land-use change control tsetse during our life times?

It has been hypothesized that the presence of the tsetse fly has protected the biological diversity of the African continent by preventing over-use of ecosystems by people and their livestock. Our objective was to evaluate how changes in land-use, a likely impact of tsetse control, affect selecte...

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...


Reid, Robin S.Kruska, R.L.Ellis, J.E.Wilson, C.J.Perry, Brian D.[Environmental impacts of trypanosomiasis control through land-use change: Conceptual model, approach and preliminary results]Environmental impacts of trypanosomiasis control through land-use change: Conceptual model, approach and preliminary results

To understand the environmental impacts of controlling trypanosomosis, there are two principle questions to answer: 1) How does controlling trypanosomosis affect the pattern and rate of land-use/land cover change? 2) If these changes occur, how do they affect ecosystem structure and function? For...


Reid, Robin S.[Impacts of trypanosomosis on land-use and the environment in Africa: State of our knowledge and future directions]Impacts of trypanosomosis on land-use and the environment in Africa: State of our knowledge and future directions

Agricultural expansion is a major cause of biodiversity loss worldwide. In Africa, biologists have observed that the populations of some tsetse species, which transmit human and livestock trypanosomosis, decline or disappear as human populations grow and farmers clear fly habitat for cultivation....
