This paper explores the elements of a sound policy toward tsetse and trypanosomosis control by highlighting key issues in policy design and implementation. A framework is proposed that suggests that consistent policy toward tsetse and trypanosomosis control hinges on strong links with broad rural...

The health and performance records of cattle and sheep used were collected over a three-year period, 1984-1986, at four network sites. Three of the sites, Avetonou (Togo), Boundiali (Cote d’Ivoire) and Mushie (Zaire) were chosen because of their high mean trypanosome of the live weight performanc...

Factors influencing liveweight in a range of network situations
In Mushie ranch, 157 N`Dama progeny of four sires, 95 males and 62 females, were used to estimate the habitability levels for aspects of parasitaemia, anemia control, immune response and animal performance. The males were exposed to a high natural trypanosome challenge, and body weight, trypanoso...
The effects of trypanosome infection and of other factors on parturition interval were evaluated using records for parturitions, which occurred between January 1984 and December 1986 at the Network sites of Avetonu, Boundiali and Mushie. For Mushie some intervals, calculated using parturitions oc...

Reports the results of an 18-month study on the prevalence, species and intensity of trypanosome parasitaemias in East African Zebu cattle managed in ten village herds in four areas around Ghibe, S.W. Ethiopia. Gives an estimation of tsetse related density and trypanosome infection rates in tsets...

The significance of Glossina fusca group tsetse flies as vectors of cattle trypanosomiasis was examined using biconical traps to survey tsetse populations at one site in Gabon and two sites in Zaire. Mean trypanosome infection rates in G. tabaniformis Westwood over the study period ranged from 8....

Bovine trypanosomiasis is prevalent in southwest Ethiopia infested with tsetse flies. Since 1986, East African Zebu cattle raised under trypanosomiasis risk in the Ghibe Valley of southwest Ethiopia have been studied to investigate the effects of trypanosmiasis on health and productivity. Approxi...
