The large and expanding use of antimicrobials in livestock, a consequence of growing global demand for animal protein, is of considerable concern in light of the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Use of antimicrobials in animals has been linked to drug-resistant infections in animals (1) ...

This study builds upon earlier work mapping the potential benefits from bovine trypanosomosis control and analysing the costs of different approaches. Updated costs were derived for five intervention techniques: trypanocides, targets, insecticide-treated cattle, aerial spraying and the release of...

This paper anlayses the decision making process for trypanosomiasis control, describes some of the tools available to assist with decision making and concludes by discussing some opportunities for the future. Levels of decision making and examples of the stakeholders, the types of decisions made ...
In many african countries where government resources for livestock disease control are declining and donor aid toward the control of tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiasis is less forthcoming, there is an increasing need to identify areas where intervention is most likely to be technically, economica...

Decision support for trypanosomiasis control: An example using a geographic information system in eastern Zambia
In many African countries where both Government resources and donor aid for the control of tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiasis are declining, there is an increasing need to identify areas where intervention is most likely to be technically, economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. A...

This study compares the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of indoor residual house-spraying (IRS) and insecticide-treated bednets (ITNs) against infection with Plasmodium falciparum as part of malaria control in the highlands of western Kenya. Homesteads operationally targeted for IRS and ITNs...
