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...

Will human population growth and land-use change control tsetse during our life times?
This paper examines the hypotheses "The prominence of high-value agricultural enterprises is not only predicated by climatic conditions; market Development plays a significant role", "Market Development has a greater influence on higher-value agricultural enterprises in more favorable zones", "Hi...

Development pathways in medium to high-potential Kenya: A meso-level analysis of agricultural patterns and determinants
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
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....
