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...

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.

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...

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...
