Herd-to-herd variations in the primary biological impact of an intervention can sometimes be utilised to investigate secondary impacts. This approach has been used in the analysis of the effects of tsetse control on calf live weight gain. Nineteen herds of cattle were monitored in the region of B...

Assessing impacts of tsetse control in northern Cote d'Ivoire on animal productivity
Nineteen herds of cattle (N'Dama, Baoule and Zebu crosses) and 20 flocks of Djallonke and Djallonke x Sahel sheep in the region of Boundiali, northern Cote d'Ivoire, were monitored monthly for body weight, packed red blood cell volume and the presence of trypanosomes in blood over various periods...

A tsetse control campaign using an insecticidal cypermethrin "pour-on" applied monthly to village Zebu cattle in Ghibe in southwest Ethiopia has been in operation for over six years. For four of these years farmers have paid a cost-recovery price for each animal given treatment. Relative densitie...

Epidemiology of the impact of tsetse control on bovine trypanosomosis in Southwest Ethiopia
Factors affecting the expression of trypanotolerance are discussed. Some of the factors which could influence the feeding preference of tsetse are physical - skin thickness, skin rippling; visual - coat colour, size; olfactory - breath, urine, skin secretions; behaviour - tail flicking, head swin...

Factors affecting estimation of tsetse challenge and the expression of trypanotolerance
A deltamethrin `pour-on' insecticide was applied monthly to over 2000 cattle exposed to a high challenge of drug-resistant trypanosomes and high tsetse re-invasion pressure in the Ghibe valley, south-west Ethiopia. Blood samples were taken monthly from an average of 760 cattle for determination o...

Describes the epidemiology of bovine trypanosomiasis in the Ghibe valley, southwest Ethiopia, the tsetse populations and their relationships to the prevalence of trypanosome infections in cattle. The tsetse challenge to cattle at two sites in the area was estimated as the product of tsetse relati...
