Successful control of tsetse (Glossina spp.)-transmitted trypanosomiasis in the Ghibe Valley, Ethiopia, appears to have accelerated conversion of wooded grassland into cropland. Land conversion, in turn, may have fragmented wildlife habitat. The objective of this paper was to assess the influence...

Few studies of land-use/land-cover change provide an integrated assessment of the driving forces and consequences of that change, particularly in Africa. Our objectives were to determine how driving forces at different scales change over time, how these forces affect the dynamics and patterns of ...

Land-use and land-cover dynamics in response to changes in climatic, biological and socio-political forces: The case of southwestern Ethiopia
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...

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...

Effects of land-use change after tsetse control on biological diversity: The case of northwestern Zimbabwe
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....
